This study identifies a positive feedback chloride current in cone photoreceptors that enhances slow motion detection by sustaining photovoltage responses and counteracting adaptation.

The paper shows that nystagmus and oscillating retinal ganglion cells are common features in different mouse models of congenital stationary night blindness.

The paper shows goldfish cone photoreceptors have asymmetric gain for negative and positive contrasts, enhancing skewness discrimination in visual scenes.

ZETA is a parameter-free statistical test for neuronal responsiveness that includes more cells with fewer false positives compared to existing methods.

This study shows that nystagmus in CSNB patients and nob mice results from synchronized oscillations of retinal direction-selective ganglion cells in response to light.
