AII amacrine cells: quantitative reconstruction and morphometric analysis of electrophysiologically identified cells in live rat retinal slices imaged with multi-photon excitation microscopy
Zandt, Bas-Jan; Liu, Jian Hao; Veruki, Margaret Lin; Hartveit, Espen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02)AII amacrine cells have been found in all mammalian retinas examined and play an important role for visual processing under both scotopic and photopic conditions. Whereas ultrastructural investigations have provided a ... -
AMPA receptors at ribbon synapses in the mammalian retina: kinetic models and molecular identity
Hartveit, Espen; Zandt, Bas-Jan; Madsen, Eirik; Castilho, Aurea; Mørkve, Svein Harald; Veruki, Margaret Lin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)In chemical synapses, neurotransmitter molecules released from presynaptic vesicles activate populations of postsynaptic receptors that vary in functional properties depending on their subunit composition. Differential ... -
Capacitance measurement of dendritic exocytosis in an electrically coupled inhibitory retinal interneuron: an experimental and computational study
Hartveit, Espen; Veruki, Margaret Lin; Zandt, Bas-Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-04)Exocytotic release of neurotransmitter can be quantified by electrophysiological recording from postsynaptic neurons. Alternatively, fusion of synaptic vesicles with the cell membrane can be measured as increased capacitance ... -
Electrotonic signal processing in AII amacrine cells: compartmental models and passive membrane properties for a gap junction-coupled retinal neuron
Zandt, Bas-Jan; Veruki, Margaret Lin; Hartveit, Espen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09)Amacrine cells are critical for processing of visual signals, but little is known about their electrotonic structure and passive membrane properties. AII amacrine cells are multifunctional interneurons in the mammalian ... -
Multiphoton excitation microscopy for the reconstructionand analysis of single neuron morphology
Hartveit, Espen; Zandt, Bas-Jan; Veruki, Margaret Lin (Neuromethods, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2019)Neurons are the main cellular components of the circuits of the central nervous system (CNS). The dendritic and axonal morphology of individual neurons display marked variability between neurons in different regions of the ... -
Semi-automatic 3D morphological reconstruction of neurons with densely branching morphology: Application to retinal AII amacrine cells imaged with multi-photon excitation microscopy
Zandt, Bas-Jan; Losnegård, Are; Hodneland, Erlend; Veruki, Margaret Lin; Lundervold, Arvid; Hartveit, Espen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03)Background: Accurate reconstruction of the morphology of single neurons is important for morphometric studies and for developing compartmental models. However, manual morphological reconstruction can be extremely time-consuming ...
