Organization of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus in the mouse [PDF]
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

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 ...

Cell transplantation to replace retinal ganglion cells faces challenges – the Switchboard Dilemma
The mammalian retina displays incomplete intrinsic regenerative capacities; therefore, retina degeneration is a major cause of irreversible blindness such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

Non-viral delivery and optimized optogenetic stimulation of retinal ganglion cells led to behavioral restoration of vision [PDF]
Stimulation of retinal neurons using optogenetics via use of chanelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) has opened up a new direction for restoration of vision for treatment of retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

R-28 cell-derived extracellular vesicles protect retinal ganglion cells in glaucoma
Glaucoma is characterized by chronic progressive optic nerve damage and retinal ganglion cell death. Although extensive research has been conducted on neuroprotection for retinal ganglion cells, there is still no treatment for clinical use.

Dendritic and axonal targeting patterns of a genetically-specified class of retinal ganglion cells that participate in image-forming circuits. [PDF]
BackgroundThere are numerous functional types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), each participating in circuits that encode a specific aspect of the visual scene.
