Photoreceptor degeneration has heterogeneous effects on functional retinal ganglion cell types
Abstract figure legend Photoreceptor loss has heterogeneous effects on functional retinal ganglion cell (RGC) types. A, illustrations of cross‐sections of rd10 retinae at different time points during degeneration. Left: P30, rod degeneration has commenced, cones are still unaffected.

Adaptations to hypoxia in the vertebrate retina
Abstract figure legend Most animals, including mammals, are susceptible to the damaging effects of hypoxia or ischaemia, where the result is neuronal cell death in the brain. By contrast, some neurons of the mammalian retina are less sensitive to hypoxia. In both brain and retina, neurons may survive if first preconditioned with ischaemia.

The mysterious middlemen making your vision pop: understanding the function of amacrine cells
Abstract figure legend This review aims to illustrate the diversity and function of amacrine cells in the retina. The diversity of amacrine cell subtypes is depicted based on morphology, stratification and neurotransmitter expression, along with their synaptic connectivity with bipolar and ganglion cells, emphasizing inhibitory and modulatory roles ...

Targeting Connexin 43 in Retinal Astrocytes Promotes Neuronal Survival in Glaucomatous Injury
Main Points Astrocytes play an important role in glaucoma. These cells express Cx43 which can form gap junctions and hemichannels. This study shows Cx43 deletion in astrocytes provides neuroprotection in glaucoma, possibly through hemichannel activation.

Potassium‐Dependent Coupling of Retinal Astrocyte Light Response to Müller Glia
Main Points Astrocytes depolarize to light ON and OFF like Müller glia. The astrocyte light response is due to potassium influx. Retinal macroglial current‐voltage responses exhibit rectification which changes with repeated stimulation. ABSTRACT Astrocytes throughout the central nervous system mediate a variety of functions to support proper tissue ...

Optic Nerve Sheath Meningiomas in Children: Diagnostic Challenges Based on a Case Series
ABSTRACT The diagnosis of optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSM) in children and teenagers remains challenging despite advances in high‐quality imaging. We identified seven children diagnosed with ONSM in four tertiary paediatric oncology centres in the United Kingdom.
