Molecular Biology of Retinal Ganglion Cells [PDF]
The main goal of this thematic issue was to bring both original research papers and reviews together to provide an insight into the rather broad topic of molecular biology of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) [...]

Machine Learning Method for Functional Assessment of Retinal Models [PDF]
Challenges in the field of retinal prostheses motivate the development of retinal models to accurately simulate Retinal Ganglion Cells (RGCs) responses. The goal of retinal prostheses is to enable blind individuals to solve complex, reallife visual tasks.

Activation of BMP-Smad1/5/8 signaling promotes survival of retinal ganglion cells after damage in vivo. [PDF]
While the essential role of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in nervous system development is well established, its function in the adult CNS is poorly understood.

PTEN Expression Regulates Gap Junction Connectivity in the Retina
Manipulation of the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) pathway has been suggested as a therapeutic approach to treat or prevent vision loss due to retinal disease.

Retinal Ganglion Cell Death [PDF]
1.1 Topographic and cellular organization of the retina The retina is the thin (0.2 mm) lining of the back of the eye that gathers light focused on it by the cornea and lens. The retina has a complex laminar organization; cells are organized into layers (Fig. 1). These layers are named by reference to the middle of the eyeball; the innermost layers are

Dorsal lateral geniculate substructure in the Long-Evans rat: A cholera toxin B-subunit study [PDF]
This study describes the substructure of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus of the pigmented rat (Rattus norvegicus) based on the eye-of-origin of its retinal ganglion cell inputs. We made monocular intra-ocular injections of the B-subunit of cholera toxin (CTB), a sensitive anterograde tracer, in three adult male Long-Evans rats. In

Hyperactivity of ON-type retinal ganglion cells in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. [PDF]
Impairment of visual function has been detected in the early stage of diabetes but the underlying neural mechanisms involved are largely unknown.

Retinal processing: insights from mathematical modelling [PDF]
The retina is the entrance of the visual system. Although based on common biophysical principles the dynamics of retinal neurons is quite different from their cortical counterparts, raising interesting problems for modellers. In this paper I address some mathematically stated questions in this spirit, discussing, in particular: (1) How could lateral ...

Melanopsin ganglion cells are the most resistant retinal ganglion cell type to axonal injury in the rat retina. [PDF]
We report that the most common retinal ganglion cell type that remains after optic nerve transection is the M1 melanopsin ganglion cell. M1 ganglion cells are members of the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell population that mediates non ...
