This study investigates how continuous noise and nonlinear synaptic filtering affect signal detection in the primary rod pathway by manipulating noise sources and analyzing synaptic responses.

This study knocks out GARP2 in mouse rods and finds it reduces dark noise through PDE6 stabilization, affecting rod function without major structural changes.

This study identifies the retinal circuits responsible for the pupillary light response (PLR) in mice, showing that rods, not cones, drive the PLR across light intensities.

This study shows that activating rod input in a retinal degeneration model restores synaptic structure, circuitry, and visual signaling in adult mice.
