Journal 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.

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

Comparative evaluation of methods for estimating retinal ganglion cell loss in retinal sections and wholemounts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 To investigate the reliability of different methods of quantifying retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in rat retinal sections and wholemounts from eyes with either intact optic nerves or those axotomised after optic nerve crush (ONC).

Therapeutic Gases in Biomedicine: Updates on Nitric Oxide and Beyond
Advanced 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.

The number of unidentified amacrine cells in the mammalian retina [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996 The three largest known populations of amacrine cells in the rabbit retina were stained with fluorescent probes in whole mounts and counted at a series of retinal eccentricities. The retinas were counterstained using a fluorescent DNA-binding molecule and the total number of nuclei in the inner nuclear layer were counted in confocal sections.

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.Single‐cell transcriptomics reveals that the human retina expresses a broad repertoire of steroid hormone biosynthesis and estrogen signalling genes. Functional validation in retinal explants shows that local estrogen synthesis is neuroprotective, preventing photoreceptor death and limiting microglial activation. Abstract Steroid hormones, particularly

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

Axonal synapses utilize multiple synaptic ribbons in the mammalian retina. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In the mammalian retina, bipolar cells and ganglion cells which stratify in sublamina a of the inner plexiform layer (IPL) show OFF responses to light stimuli while those that stratify in sublamina b show ON responses.

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.A near‐infrared organic photonic synapse with gold nanorods enhances light absorption and synaptic plasticity. When integrated into CNN and CSNN models, the device achieved accuracies of 98.57% and 92.01% on MNIST digit and dynamic gesture recognition tasks, respectively, demonstrating strong potential for intelligent vision and low‐power neuromorphic ...

Imprecision in Vision: Lessons From Neural Circuits in the Fly
BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 3, March 2026.Visual systems are considered regular, retinotopic structures. Here, we summarize findings, including evidence from recent connectomes, that demonstrate cellular and synaptic heterogeneity in the Drosophila visual system —from regional specialization and stochastic photoreceptor patterns to heterogeneous synaptic connectivity.
