The paper uses a fluorescent GABA sensor to show that GABA diffuses rapidly from release sites and accumulates extracellularly, challenging previous assumptions about GABA clearance mechanisms.

The paper uses Monte Carlo simulations to show that geometric complexity in rod synapses slows glutamate diffusion, affecting synaptic responses and receptor kinetics.

The paper tests a drug to reduce noise in retinal circuits of mice with retinitis pigmentosa, finding it preserves visual sensitivity while decreasing circuit noise.

This study investigates the structure and function of Muller glial sheaths in the retina's vascular layers, revealing compartmentalized interactions between glia and vessels.

The paper identifies a retinal circuit where A2 amacrine cells inhibit OFF ganglion cells in the ON layer, contradicting established connectivity and receptive field rules.

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.

This study models how fluorescent glutamate indicators affect neurotransmitter diffusion and uptake, showing they delay uptake and reduce extrasynaptic glutamate levels.
