Ptf1a is expressed transiently in all types of amacrine cells in the embryonic zebrafish retina [PDF]
Neural Development, 2009 Background The vertebrate retina is composed of five major types of neurons: three excitatory (photoreceptors, bipolar cells and ganglion cells) and two inhibitory (horizontal and amacrine cells).

Special nuclear layer contacts between starburst amacrine cells in the mouse retina [PDF]
Frontiers in Ophthalmology, 2023 Starburst amacrine cells are a prominent neuron type in the mammalian retina that has been well-studied for its role in direction-selective information processing.

Non-Cell-Autonomous Regulation of Optic Nerve Regeneration by Amacrine Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 Visual information is conveyed from the eye to the brain through the axons of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) that course through the optic nerve and synapse onto neurons in multiple subcortical visual relay areas.

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 ...

Heterocellular Coupling Between Amacrine Cells and Ganglion Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2018 All superclasses of retinal neurons, including bipolar cells (BCs), amacrine cells (ACs) and ganglion cells (GCs), display gap junctional coupling. However, coupling varies extensively by class.

GABAergic amacrine cells balance biased chromatic information in the mouse retina
Cell ReportsSummary: The retina extracts chromatic information present in an animal’s environment. How this information is processed in the retina is not well understood. In the mouse, chromatic information is not collected equally throughout the retina.

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,

The effects of immune protein CD3ζ development and degeneration of retinal neurons after optic nerve injury. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules and their receptors play fundamental roles in neuronal death during diseases. T-cell receptors (TCR) function as MHCI receptor on T-cells and both MHCI and a key component of TCR, CD3ζ, are ...

Extreme Compartmentalization in a Drosophila Amacrine Cell [PDF]
Current Biology, 2019 A neuron is conventionally regarded as a single processing unit. It receives input from one or several presynaptic cells, transforms these signals, and transmits one output signal to its postsynaptic partners. Exceptions exist: amacrine cells in the mammalian retina [1-3] or interneurons in the locust mesothoracic ganglion [4] are thought to represent ...
