Gamma-frequency firing persistently enhances intrinsic excitability in retinal ganglion cells

The paper shows that 40-Hz firing increases intrinsic excitability in retinal ganglion cells through Cav1-dependent regulation of Kv1 channels, altering their input-output transformation.

Evidence for a rod-to-cone lactate shuttle in the mammalian retina

The paper demonstrates that lactate produced by rod photoreceptors supports cone photoreceptor function and viability through a rod-to-cone lactate shuttle, suggesting new therapeutic avenues for retinal diseases.

The Rod Bipolar Cell Pathway Contributes To Surround Responses In OFFRetinal Ganglion Cells

The paper identifies rod bipolar and AII amacrine cells as key to surround responses in OFF retinal ganglion cells through optogenetics and electrophysiology.
