    Dendritic Computation of Direction in Retinal Neurons

    The retina utilizes a variety of dendritic mechanisms to compute direction from image motion. The computation is accomplished by starburst amacrine cells (SBACs) which are GABAergic neurons presynaptic to dire...

    Functional Changes in Inner Retinal Neurons in Animal Models of Photoreceptor Degeneration

    Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) refers to a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders that result in the death of rod and cone photoreceptors. There is now abundant evidence to suggest that inner retinal neurons, p...

    Synaptic Mechanisms Underlying Direction Selectivity in Rabbit Retinal Ganglion Cells

    In the vertebrate visual system, direction-selective signals are first encountered within the direction-selective ganglion cells (DSGCs) in the retina. The On-Off DSGCs have been most intensively studied, and ...

    Direction-Selective Ganglion Cells in the Retina

    The first stages in the neuronal processing of image motion take place within the retina. Some types of ganglion cells, which are the output neurones of the retina, are strongly stimulated by image movement in...
