Abstract: The NMDA receptors (NMDARs) expressed by AII and A17 amacrine cells, the two main inhibitory interneurons of the rod pathway microcircuit in the mammalian retina, are exclusively extrasynaptic, activated by ambient levels of glutamate, and… read more here.

Abstract: In the retina, signals originating from rod and cone photoreceptors can reach retinal ganglion cells (RGCs)-the output neurons-through different pathways. However, little is known about the exact sensitivities and operating ranges of these pathways. Previously,… read more here.
