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 retina, like many other central nervous system structures, contains a huge diversity of
neuronal types. Mammalian retinas contain approximately 55 distinct cell types, each with a …

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 …

Our eyes send different'images' of the outside world to the brain—an image of contours (line
drawing), a colour image (watercolour painting) or an image of moving objects (movie). This …

This review summarizes our current knowledge of primate including human retina focusing
on bipolar, amacrine and ganglion cells and their connectivity. We have two main …

The molecular mechanisms mediating the retinogenic potential of multipotent retinal
progenitor cells (RPCs) are poorly defined. Prior to initiating retinogenesis, RPCs express a …

Transgenic mice provide a new approach for studying the structure and function of the
mammalian retina. In the past, the cellular organization of the mammalian retina was …

The retina extracts visual features for transmission to the brain. Different types of bipolar cell
split the photoreceptor input into parallel channels and provide the excitatory drive for …

We confirmed the classification of 15 morphological types of mouse bipolar cells by serial
section transmission electron microscopy and characterized each type by identifying …

Transcriptional regulatory networks that control the morphologic and functional diversity of
mammalian neurons are still largely undefined. Here we dissect the roles of the highly …
