Spatiotemporal properties of glutamate input support direction selectivity in the dendrites of retinal starburst amacrine cells

Prerna Srivastava, Geoff deRosenroll, Akihiro Matsumoto, Tracy Michaels, Zachary Turple, Varsha Jain, Santhosh Sethuramanujam, Benjamin L. Murphy‐Baum, Keisuke Yonehara, Gautam Bhagwan Awatramani

The paper measures glutamate input kinetics in retinal starburst amacrine cells and shows that proximal dendrites have higher vesicle release rates, supporting a space-time wiring model for direction selectivity.

Gain control by sparse, ultra-slow glycinergic synapses

Varsha Jain, Laura Hanson, Santhosh Sethuramanujam, Tracy Michaels, Jerram Gawley, Ronald G. Gregg, Ian Scott Pyle, Chi Zhang, Robert G. Smith, David M. Berson, Maureen A. McCall, Gautam Bhagwan Awatramani

The paper identifies glycinergic narrow field amacrine cells as a dominant inhibitory source for retinal ON starburst amacrine cells, revealing their role in modulating direction selectivity through ultra-slow glycine receptors.
