Abstract: The asymmetric summation of kinetically distinct glutamate inputs across the dendrites of retinal “starburst” amacrine cells is proposed to underlie their direction selective properties, but experimentally verifying input kinetics has been a challenge. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fncel.2021.660773
Abstract: A presynaptic neuron can increase its computational capacity by transmitting functionally distinct signals to each of its postsynaptic cell types. To determine whether such computational specialization occurs over fine spatial scales within a neurite arbor,… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.34241
Abstract: A common strategy by which developing neurons locate their synaptic partners is through projections to circuit-specific neuropil sublayers. Once established, sublayers serve as a substrate for selective synapse formation, but how sublayers arise during neurodevelopment… read more here.
