Retinal input integration in excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the mouse superior colliculus in vivo

C Gehr, J Sibille, J Kremkow - Elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org
The superior colliculus (SC) is a midbrain structure that receives inputs from retinal ganglion
cells (RGCs). The SC contains one of the highest densities of inhibitory neurons in the brain …

Local interneurons in the murine visual thalamus have diverse receptive fields and can provide feature selective inhibition to relay cells
