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 ... -
Mortality after hospital admission for trauma in Norway: A retrospective observational national cohort study
