Neuroanatomic studies of the mammalian retina have the invaluable advantage that, as
difficulties arise in the functional classification of a structure, auxiliary information from …

We studied the morphology of bipolar cells in fixed vertical tissue sections of the rat retina by
injecting the cells with Lucifer Yellow and neurobiotin. In addition to the rod bipolar cell, nine …

We recorded light-evoked responses from rod and cone bipolar cells using patch-clamp
techniques in a slice preparation of the rat retina. Rod bipolar cells responded to light with a …

Bipolar cells make reciprocal synapses with amacrine cells in the inner plexiform layer; both
feedforward connections and feedback connections are present. The physiological …

The mammalian rod synapse transmits a binary signal (one photon or none) using tonic,
rapid exocytosis. We constructed a quantitative, physical model of the synapse …

Whole-cell currents from> 70 voltage-clamped bipolar cells were recorded in a slice
preparation of the rat retina. The recorded cells were identified and classified by intracellular …

Double cones are the most common photoreceptor cell type in most avian retinas, but their
precise functions remain a mystery. Among their suggested functions are luminance …

Bipolar cells convey luminance, spatial, and color information from photoreceptors to
amacrine and ganglion cells. We studied the photoreceptor connectivity of 321 bipolar cells …

Although retinal structure in teleosts does not differ in principle from that found in other
vertebrates, it appears more difficult than in other vertebrate species to present a general …

We describe the effects of a recessive mutation on visual behavior, the electroretinogram
(ERG), and photoreceptor structure in zebrafish. At 6 d post-fertilization (dpf), no optokinetic …
