The paper identifies two nonlinear mechanisms in primate retina that shape neural responses and improve modeling of visual function.

The paper examines how different ON bipolar cell subtypes generate distinct kinetic responses in transient and sustained ON retinal ganglion cells through synaptic mechanisms.

The paper identifies two rod bipolar cell types in zebrafish that are related to mammalian rod bipolar cells, suggesting the primary rod pathway evolved over 400 million years ago.

The paper shows that differences in surround suppression between two mouse retinal ganglion cell types arise from synapse-specific regulation by amacrine cells at the bipolar cell level.

The paper identifies a new inhibitory retinal amacrine cell type, MAC, that forms direct electrical and chemical synapses with Müller glia, revealing neuron-glia coupling in the mammalian retina.
