Contributions of Retinal Ganglion Cells to Subcortical Visual Processing and Behaviors.
Annual Review of Vision Science, 2015Every aspect of visual perception and behavior is built from the neural activity of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the output neurons of the eye. Here, we review progress toward understanding the many types of RGCs that communicate visual signals to the ...

Intrinsically Photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cells
Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, 2007The recent discovery of melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells that mediate the pupil light reflex has provided new insights into how the pupil responds to different properties of light. These ganglion cells are unique in their ability to transduce light into electrical energy.

Activation of autophagy in retinal ganglion cells
Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2008AbstractAutophagy has been shown to be activated in neuronal cells in response to injury and suggested to have a cell‐protective role in neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we investigated the activation of autophagy in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) following optic nerve transection (ONT) and evaluated its effect on RGC survival.

Variability in responses of retinal ganglion cells
Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 1988Changes in the maintained discharge of retinal ganglion cells have been modeled by addition of noise to a rate-setting signal, whereas the responses of cortical cells have been reported to indicate a nonlinear relationship between noise and signal. To determine whether this represents a difference between retinal cells and cortical cells, the variance ...

Purification and Culture of Retinal Ganglion Cells
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2013Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the neurons that extend axons through the optic nerve, connecting and transmitting information from the retina to the brain. In mammals, RGCs receive information from bipolar and amacrine cells and synapse onto target cells in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) as well as the superior colliculus.

Ganglion cells typically make up the innermost layer of the vertebrate retina. They are the only cells with axons that leave the eye. These axons form the optic nerve. Ganglion cell dendrites ramify in the inner nuclear layer, where they are postsynaptic to bipolar cells, which provide a direct input pathway from the outer plexiform layer, and to ...

Culture of rat retinal ganglion cells
Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology [Medical Sciences], 2011This study aimed to modify the mixed and purified culture of rat retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in vitro. The retinae of 1-3 day old Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were separated bluntly into two layers: inner layer and outer layer, under a surgical microscope. Retinal cells isolated from different layers (inner layer, outer layer and whole retinal tissue) by

Concerted Signaling by Retinal Ganglion Cells [PDF]
Science, 1995 To analyze the rules that govern communication between eye and brain, visual responses were recorded from an intact salamander retina. Parallel observation of many retinal ganglion cells with a microelectrode array showed that nearby neurons often fired synchronously, with spike delays of less than 10 milliseconds.

Studies on the Retinal Ganglion Cells
1961In recent studies (6, 15), it has definitively been proved, by histological localization of the recording electrode tip, that the S-potential has an intracellular origin in the tangential and radial glial systems of the retina ; the L-response was obtained in the horizontal cells and the C-response in the Muller fibers.

The Retinal Ganglion Cell Layer.
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1965This book describes a series of careful and detailed histologic studies of the retina in which the topographical arrangements of the ganglion cells were related to lesions at various levels of the visual pathways in the central nervous system. The experimental material from macaques and tissue from clinical human cases were stained by conventional ...
