Rod inputs arrive at horizontal cell somas in mouse retina solely via rod-cone coupling

Wallace B. Thoreson, Asia L. Sladek, Cody L. Barta, Lou E. Townsend

The paper shows rod signals reach horizontal cell somas in mouse retina exclusively via gap junctions with cones, not through axonal transmission.

Amyloid Beta Pathology Accelerates Alterations in the Visual Pathway of the 5xFAD Mouse

Shaylah McCool, JENNIE SMITH, Asia L. Sladek, Shan Fan, Matthew J. Van Hook

This study examines the impact of amyloid beta pathology on the visual pathway in 5xFAD mice, finding modest dysfunction and potential compensatory mechanisms.

Loss of retinogeniculate synaptic function in the DBA/2J mouse model of glaucoma.

JENNIE SMITH, Kevin Yang Zhang, Asia L. Sladek, Jennifer Thompson, Elizabeth R. Bierlein, Ashish Bhandari, Matthew J. Van Hook

This study examines how glaucoma affects retinal ganglion cell (RGC) signaling to the dLGN in DBA/2J mice, finding functional deficits linked to intraocular pressure.

Properties of multi-vesicular release from rod photoreceptors support transmission of single photon responses

Cassandra L. Hays, Asia L. Sladek, Greg D. Field, Wallace B. Thoreson

The paper shows that rod photoreceptors use coordinated, multivesicular release to efficiently transmit single photon responses under low-light conditions.

Ocular hypertension drives remodeling of AMPA receptors in select populations of retinal ganglion cells

Asia L. Sladek, Scott Nawy

The paper shows that ocular hypertension increases Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptors in specific retinal ganglion cell populations, leading to synaptic depression and altered activity patterns.
