Activated retinal glia mediated axon regeneration in experimental glaucoma
Neurobiology of Disease, 2012 Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness, is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive loss of retinal ganglion cell axons in the optic nerve and their cell bodies in the retina.

Clinically Verified Hybrid Deep Learning System for Retinal Ganglion Cells Aware Grading of Glaucomatous Progression [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Objective: Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. Glaucomatous progression can be easily monitored by analyzing the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Many researchers have screened glaucoma by measuring cup-to-disc ratios from fundus and optical coherence tomography scans. However, this paper presents a novel strategy

Revealing structure components of the retina by deep learning networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated impressive performance on visual object classification tasks. In addition, it is a useful model for predication of neuronal responses recorded in visual system. However, there is still no clear understanding of what CNNs learn in terms of visual neuronal circuits. Visualizing CNN's features to

Functional imaging of ganglion and receptor cells in living human retina by osmotic contrast [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Imaging neuronal activity non-invasively in vivo is of tremendous interest, but current imaging techniques lack either functional contrast or necessary microscopic resolution. The retina is the only part of the central nervous system (CNS) that allows us direct optical access.

Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase Is Crucial for Ganglion Cell Death in Rat Retinal Explant Cultures
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004 We examined possible involvement of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) on ganglion cell death in explant cultures of neonatal rat retina. Survival of retinal ganglion cells was significantly prolonged by a broad-spectrum NOS inhibitor Nω-nitro-L-arginine ...

How does the inner retinal network shape the ganglion cells receptive field : a computational study [PDF]
arXivWe consider a model of basic inner retinal connectivity where bipolar and amacrine cells interconnect, and both cell types project onto ganglion cells, modulating their response output to the brain visual areas. We derive an analytical formula for the spatio-temporal response of retinal ganglion cells to stimuli taking into account the effects of ...

Neural System Identification with Spike-triggered Non-negative Matrix Factorization [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Neuronal circuits formed in the brain are complex with intricate connection patterns. Such complexity is also observed in the retina as a relatively simple neuronal circuit. A retinal ganglion cell receives excitatory inputs from neurons in previous layers as driving forces to fire spikes.
