How does the inner retinal network shape the ganglion cells receptive field : a computational study [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
We 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 ...

Midget retinal ganglion cell dendritic and mitochondrial degeneration is an early feature of human glaucoma

open access: yesBrain Communications, 2019
Glaucoma is characterized by the progressive dysfunction and loss of retinal ganglion cells. However, the earliest degenerative events that occur in human glaucoma are relatively unknown.

Coral reef fish visual adaptations to a changing world

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Coral reef ecosystems show fluctuations in their prevailing light environment in response to both regular (e.g. between seasons) and more prevalent stochastic events (e.g. human‐induced sediment runoff).

Axotomy results in delayed death and apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells in adult rats

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 1994
Using quantitative anatomical techniques, we show that after intraorbital optic nerve transection in adult rats, virtually all retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) survive for 5 d and then die abruptly in large numbers, reducing the RGC population to ...

Vision at high latitudes: High sensitivity without specific boreal adaptations in photoreception in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.)

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species. In this

Neural System Identification with Spike-triggered Non-negative Matrix Factorization [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 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.

Cochlear Cell Atlas of Two Laryngeal Echolocating Bats—New Evidence for the Adaptive Nervous Physiology in Constant Frequency Bat

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bats have evolved highly adapted auditory mechanisms associated with ecological specialisation. However, there is scattered knowledge about the neurophysiological and cellular basis underlying high‐frequency hearing in echolocating bats. Herein, the total cochlear cell atlas of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum (constant frequency (CF) bat) and Myotis

A Nonlinear Model of Spatiotemporal Retinal Processing: Simulations of X and Y Retinal Ganglion Cell Behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
This article describes a nonlinear model of neural processing in the vertebrate retina, comprising model photoreceptors, model push-pull bipolar cells, and model ganglion cells.

Transcriptional Heterogeneity and Differential Response of Rod Photoreceptor Pathway Uncovered by Single‐Cell RNA Sequencing of the Aging Mouse Retina

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2025.
Healthy aging is accompanied by transcriptional dysregulation in retinal cells, leading to alterations in key molecular pathways and cellular responses, with the scotopic pathway being particularly affected. We show that rod photoreceptors, essential for initiating scotopic (low‐light) vision, exhibit selective vulnerability to aging‐associated ...
