Cell replacement therapy offers a therapeutic approach for patients with advanced disease in which there has been loss of photoreceptors, RPE or retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Age-related macular ...
IN the light-adapted state, the receptive fields of retinal ganglion cells in the cat consist of excitatory and inhibitory areas. Thus predominantly excitatory and inhibitory pathways converging ...
USC researchers use 3D microscopy and genetically engineered viruses to visualize and distinguish specific retinal ganglion cell types (shown here in green) from other cells in the retina (purple).
Glaucoma is a complex and multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by the progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons, leading to irreversible visual ...
In a new study in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers at the University of Rochester have used adaptive optics to identify rare retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) that could help fill in the gaps ...
My specific research has been to investigate complex neural computations in retinal ganglion cells, the first locus in the visual system of highly specific and nonlinear analyses such as motion and ...
In the tadpole stage, the eyes are lateral and all ganglion cells project axons to the contralateral side of the brain (retina is denoted by curves, ganglion cell axons are denoted by lines).
