Functional Compartmentalization within Starburst Amacrine Cell Dendrites in the Retina [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Dendrites in many neurons actively compute information. In retinal starburst amacrine cells, transformations from synaptic input to output occur within individual dendrites and mediate direction selectivity, but directional signal fidelity at ...

Quantitative trait loci on chromosomes 9 and 19 modulate AII amacrine cell number in the mouse retina [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Sequence variants modulating gene function or expression affect various heritable traits, including the number of neurons within a population. The present study employed a forward-genetic approach to identify candidate causal genes and their sequence ...

An Amacrine Cell Circuit for Signaling Steady Illumination in the Retina [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2015 Decades of research have focused on the circuit connectivity between retinal neurons, but only a handful of amacrine cells have been described functionally and placed in the context of a specific retinal circuit.

Prdm13 forms a feedback loop with Ptf1a and is required for glycinergic amacrine cell genesis in the Xenopus Retina [PDF]
Neural Development, 2017 Background Amacrine interneurons that modulate synaptic plasticity between bipolar and ganglion cells constitute the most diverse cell type in the retina. Most are inhibitory neurons using either GABA or glycine as neurotransmitters.

MATH5 controls the acquisition of multiple retinal cell fates [PDF]
Molecular Brain, 2010 Math5-null mutation results in the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and in a concurrent increase of amacrine and cone cells. However, it remains unclear whether there is a cell fate switch of Math5-lineage cells in the absence of Math5 and whether ...

The Projective Field of a Retinal Amacrine Cell [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience, 2011 In sensory systems, neurons are generally characterized by their receptive field, namely the sensitivity to activity patterns at the input of the circuit. To assess the role of the neuron in the system, one must also know its projective field, namely the

The AII Amacrine Cell Connectome: A Dense Network Hub [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014 The mammalian AII retinal amacrine cell is a narrow-field, multistratified glycinergic neuron best known for its role in collecting scotopic signals from rod bipolar cells and distributing them to ON and OFF cone pathways in a crossover network via a ...

Distinct roles for inhibition in spatial and temporal tuning of local edge detectors in the rabbit retina. [PDF]
, 2014 This paper examines the role of inhibition in generating the receptive-field properties of local edge detector (LED) ganglion cells in the rabbit retina. We confirm that the feed-forward inhibition is largely glycinergic but, contrary to a recent report,
