Some aspects of amacrine neuron simulation for motion detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
As it is known, there are five types of neurons in the mammalian retinal layer allowing the detection of several important characteristics of the visual image impinging onto the visual system, namely, photoreceptors, horizontal cells, amacrine, bipolar

A Dynamic Change of Microglial States Occurs During the Transition From Photoreceptor Degeneration to Regeneration in Zebrafish pde6c Mutants

open access: yesGlia, Volume 74, Issue 6, June 2026.
Zebrafish pde6c mutants undergo photoreceptor degeneration from 5 dpf, but rods regenerate from 4 wpf. scRNA‐seq of retinal microglia reveals dynamic change of states between 5 dpf and 4 wpf. Two states emerge specifically during regeneration. ABSTRACT Microglia, brain‐resident immune cells, maintain brain homeostasis.

GABA_{B} Receptors Regulate Chick Retinal Calcium Waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Correlated spiking activity and associated Ca²⁺ waves in the developing retina are important in determining the connectivity of the visual system. Here, we show that GABA, via GABA_{B} receptors, regulates the temporal characteristics of Ca²⁺ waves ...

Computational convergence of the path integral for real dendritic morphologies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Neurons are characterised by a morphological structure unique amongst biological cells, the core of which is the dendritic tree. The vast number of dendritic geometries, combined with heterogeneous properties of the cell membrane, continue to challenge ...

The fountain amacrine cells of the rabbit retina

open access: yesVisual Neuroscience, 1999
We have characterized a distinctive type of bistratified amacrine cell in the rabbit retina at both the single cell and population levels. These cells correspond to the “fountain” amacrine cells recently identified by MacNeil and Masland (1998). The fountain cells can be distinguished in superfused retinal wholemounts labeled with nuclear dyes ...

Conservation of Neuron‐Astrocyte Correlated Activity in Developing Sensory Pathways

open access: yesGlia, Volume 74, Issue 5, May 2026.
Astrocytes and neurons in the superior colliculus exhibit spatiotemporal correlated activity before eye opening. Each neuronal wave is followed by a calcium wave in astrocytes. Spillover of glutamate activates mGluR5 and mGluR3 in astrocytes. ABSTRACT Neurons in developing sensory organs exhibit prolonged burst firing before the onset of sensory ...

A biophysical model explains the spontaneous bursting behavior in the developing retina

open access: yes, 2018
During early development, waves of activity propagate across the retina and play a key role in the proper wiring of the early visual system. During the stage II these waves are triggered by a transient network of neurons, called Starburst Amacrine Cells (

Allosteric modulation of retinal GABA receptors by ascorbic acid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Ionotropic GABA receptors (GABAA and GABAC) belong to the Cys-loop receptor family of ligand-gated ion channels. GABAC receptors are highly expressed in the retina, mainly localized at the axon terminals of bipolar cells.

Molecular insights into electroreceptor ribbon synapses from differential gene expression in sturgeon lateral line organs

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 784-805, May 2026.
The expression of various genes involved in synapse development, stability and/or function was studied in developing mechanosensory neuromasts and electrosensory ampullary organs in sterlet sturgeon. Most were shared, including Slc17a8, Slc1a3 and Nrxn3, but Cbln18 was neuromast‐restricted and Tulp1 was ampullary organ‐restricted.

Therapeutic Gases in Biomedicine: Updates on Nitric Oxide and Beyond

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 23, 23 April 2026.
Therapeutic gases, including NO, CO, H2S, H2, CO2, O2, and Xe, play vital roles in cellular signaling and repair. This review highlights the emerging carriers and delivery systems that enable controlled, localized gas release for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
