GABAergic amacrine cells balance biased chromatic information in the mouse retina

The paper identifies 25 functional GABAergic amacrine cell types in the mouse retina that balance chromatic information by reducing chromatic tuning and increasing receptive field diversity.

Atypical retinal function in a mouse model of Fragile X syndrome

The paper investigates retinal function in a Fragile X syndrome mouse model, finding altered light sensitivity in a specific retinal neuron type due to changes in excitatory-inhibitory balance.

Retinal horizontal cells use different synaptic sites for global feedforward and local feedback signaling

The paper identifies two distinct synaptic sites on horizontal cells in the mouse retina that mediate local feedback to cones and global feedforward signaling to bipolar cells.

Center-surround interactions underlie bipolar cell motion sensing in the mouse retina

The paper investigates motion sensing in mouse retinal bipolar cells, finding that some possess motion-sensitive receptive fields and transmit direction-specific signals to downstream neurons.
