Ectopic expression of two cone opsins in mouse RGCs results in opposite responses to light stimulation, likely due to differential G protein activation

This study shows that expressing short-wavelength cone opsin in RGCs causes hyperpolarization, opposite to mid-wavelength opsin's depolarization, due to different G-protein activation.

Optogenetic Targeting of AII Amacrine Cells restores Retinal Computations performed by the Inner Retina

This study shows that optogenetic stimulation of AII amacrine cells restores both ON and OFF retinal responses and enables other retinal computations in degenerate retinas.
