Different glutamate sources and endogenous co-agonists activate extrasynaptic NMDA receptors on amacrine cells of the rod pathway microcircuit
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)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 ... -
Differential contribution of gap junctions to the membrane properties of ON- and OFF-bipolar cells of the rat retina
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Gap junctions are ubiquitous within the retina, but in general, it remains to be determined whether gap junction coupling between specific cell types is sufficiently strong to mediate functionally relevant coupling via ... -
Morphological properties of the axon initial segment-like process of AII amacrine cells in the rat retina
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Signal processing within the retina is generally mediated by graded potentials, whereas output is conveyed by action potentials transmitted along optic nerve axons. Among retinal neurons, amacrine cells seem to be an ...
