In the retina, photoreceptors pass visual information to interneurons, which process it and
pass it to retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Axons of RGCs then travel through the optic nerve …

Abstract Structure and function are highly correlated in the vertebrate retina, a sensory tissue
that is organized into cell layers with microcircuits working in parallel and together to encode …

Neuronal types in the central nervous system differ dramatically in their resilience to injury or
other insults. Here we studied the selective resilience of mouse retinal ganglion cells …

Amacrine cells (ACs) are a diverse class of interneurons that modulate input from
photoreceptors to retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), rendering each RGC type selectively …

In the vertebrate visual system, all output of the retina is carried by retinal ganglion cells.
Each type encodes distinct visual features in parallel for transmission to the brain. How …

Neuroscience research has exploded, with more than fifty thousand neuroscientists applying
increasingly advanced methods. A mountain of new facts and mechanisms has emerged …

Understanding the circuit mechanisms of the visual code for natural scenes is a central goal
of sensory neuroscience. We show that a three-layer network model predicts retinal natural …

Comprehensive high-resolution structural maps are central to functional exploration and
understanding in biology. For the nervous system, in which high resolution and large spatial …

The mammalian retina consists of neurons of> 60 distinct types, each playing a specific role
in processing visual images. They are arranged in three main stages. The first decomposes …

The selectivity of neuronal responses arises from the architecture of excitatory and inhibitory
connections. In the primary visual cortex, the selectivity of a neuron in layer 2/3 for stimulus …
