Transmission of Mixed Convergent Signals at the Mouse Retinogeniculate Synapse

The paper investigates information transfer at the mouse retinogeniculate synapse and finds that dLGN neurons primarily relay input from specific RGC populations, supporting a labeled line model.

Visual stimulation induces distinct forms of sensitization of On-Off direction-selective ganglion cell responses in the dorsal and ventral retina

The paper shows that visual stimulation causes different sensitization patterns in dorsal and ventral On-Off direction-selective ganglion cells, with dorsal cells showing sensitization of both On and Off responses while ventral cells only show Off response sensitization.

Spatially displaced excitation contributes to the encoding of interrupted motion by the retinal direction-selective circuit

The paper investigates how spatially displaced excitation influences the direction selectivity of On-Off DSGCs during interrupted motion, showing its role in encoding visual features.
