MedComm – Future Medicine, 2022 Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally and is associated with retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death. Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a potent neurotrophin that promotes neuronal survival via its receptor, tropomyosin ...

Changes in intrinsic excitability of ganglion cells in degenerated retinas of RCS rats [PDF]
International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2018 AIM: To evaluate the intrinsic excitability of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in degenerated retinas. METHODS: The intrinsic excitability of various morphologically defined RGC types using a combination of patch-clamp recording and the Lucifer yellow ...

GABAA presynaptic inhibition regulates the gain and kinetics of retinal output neurons
eLife, 2021 Output signals of neural circuits, including the retina, are shaped by a combination of excitatory and inhibitory signals. Inhibitory signals can act presynaptically on axon terminals to control neurotransmitter release and regulate circuit function ...

Organization of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus in the mouse [PDF]
, 2017 The dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus is the principal conduit for visual information from retina to visual cortex. Viewed initially as a simple relay, recent studies in the mouse reveal far greater complexity in the way input from

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,

Elevated expression of human bHLH factor ATOH7 accelerates cell cycle progression of progenitors and enhances production of avian retinal ganglion cells. [PDF]
, 2018 The production of vertebrate retinal projection neurons, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), is regulated by cell-intrinsic determinants and cell-to-cell signaling events.

Transformation of stimulus correlations by the retina [PDF]
, 2013 Redundancies and correlations in the responses of sensory neurons seem to waste neural resources but can carry cues about structured stimuli and may help the brain to correct for response errors.

Phototransduction in ganglion-cell photoreceptors [PDF]
Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2007 A third class of photoreceptors has recently been identified in the mammalian retina. They are a rare cell type within the class of ganglion cells, which are the output cells of the retina. These intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells support a variety of physiological responses to daylight, including synchronization of circadian rhythms ...

Higher Network Activity Induced by Tactile Compared to Electrical Stimulation of Leech Mechanoreceptors [PDF]
, 2018 The tiny ensemble of neurons in the leech ganglion can discriminate the locations of touch stimuli on the skin as precisely as a human fingertip. The leech uses this ability to locally bend the body-wall away from the stimulus. It is assumed that a three-
