The mammalian visual system encodes information over a remarkable breadth of
spatiotemporal scales and light intensities. This performance originates with its complement …

Univocal identification of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is an essential prerequisite for
studying their degeneration and neuroprotection. Before the advent of phenotypic markers …

There are few neurochemical markers that reliably identify retinal ganglion cells (RGCs),
which are a heterogeneous population of cells that integrate and transmit the visual signal …

The three members of the Pou4f family of transcription factors: Pou4f1, Pou4f2, Pou4f3
(Brn3a, Brn3b and Brn3c, respectively) play, during development, essential roles in the …

Melanopsin‐expressing retinal ganglion cells are intrinsically photosensitive cells that are
involved in non‐image forming visual processes such as the pupillary light reflex and …

Melanopsin ganglion cells have defied convention since their discovery almost 20 years
ago. In the years following, many types of these intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion …

Photoreceptors carry out the first step in vision by capturing light and transducing it into
electrical signals. Rod and cone photoreceptors efficiently translate photon capture into …

We have studied in parallel the population of displaced retinal ganglion cells (dRGCs) and
normally placed (orthotopic RGCs, oRGCs) in albino and pigmented rats. Using retrograde …

Age and intraocular pressure (IOP) are the two most important risk factors for the
development and progression of open-angle glaucoma. While IOP is commonly considered …

This study examines retinas from a rat glaucoma model for oxidized nucleosides 8OHdG
and 8OHG, biomarkers for oxidative damage of DNA and RNA, respectively …
