For some 20 years, synaptic feedback from horizontal cells to cones has often been invoked,
more or less convincingly, in discussions of retinal action and vision. However, feedback in …

Disorder in the packing geometry of the human cone mosaic is believed to help alleviate
spatial aliasing effects. To characterize cone packing geometry, we gathered positions of …

In this chapter we will review the mechanisms responsible for the spectral coding of
horizontal ceils (HCs) in teleost retina. We will discuss the inputs to HCs, the …

Electrical coupling via gap junctions is a common property of CNS neurons. In retinal
photoreceptors, coupling plays important roles in noise filtering, intensity coding, and spatial …

The spectral and dynamic properties of cone-driven horizontal cells in carp retina were
evaluated with silent substitution stimuli and/or saturating background illumination. The aim …

The outer plexiform layer of the retina contains a neural circuit in which cone synaptic
terminals are electrically coupled and release glutamate onto wide-field and narrow-field …

Retinal bipolar cells exhibit a center-surround antagonistic receptive field to a light stimulus
(Werblin & Dowling, 1969; Kaneko, 1970), and thus constitute an early stage of spatial …

Some mammalian rod bipolar cells (RBCs) can receive excitatory chemical synaptic inputs
from both rods and cones (DBCR2), but anatomical evidence for mammalian cone‐RBC …

The connectivity amongst photoreceptors is critical to their function, as it underpins lateral
inhibition and effective translation of stimuli into neural signals. Despite much work …

Horizontal cells generating photopic luminosity and biphasic/chromaticity‐type S‐potentials
were identified and intracellularly labelled with horseradish peroxidase in the retina of the …
