Expression and distribution of synaptotagmin isoforms in the zebrafish retina

The paper investigates the conservation and expression of synaptotagmin isoforms in zebrafish retina, identifying their roles in Ca2+-dependent exocytosis.

VOLTAGE-GATED POTASSIUM CHANNELS CONTROL THE GAIN OF ROD-DRIVEN LIGHT RESPONSES IN MIXED-INPUT ON BIPOLAR CELLS

This paper shows voltage-gated potassium channels in mixed-input ON bipolar cells adjust rod signal gain and create transient responses, enhancing dynamic range and reducing temporal redundancy.

Direct Observation Of Vesicle Transport On The Synaptic Ribbon Provides Evidence That Vesicles Are Mobilized And Prepared Rapidly For Release

The paper uses TIRF microscopy to study vesicle transport on synaptic ribbons in retinal bipolar cells, showing rapid vesicle mobilization and replenishment compared to conventional synapses.
