The paper identifies and characterizes four uncharacterized retinal ganglion cell subtypes using a combination of genetic labeling, molecular, morphological, and functional analyses.

This study shows that PTEN regulates the dendritic morphology of starburst amacrine cells during development, with Pten-deficient cells showing increased branching without affecting other properties.

The paper maps the spatial distribution of retinal ganglion cell types and identifies perivascular RGCs that show neuroprotection after optic nerve injury.

This study shows that remyelination protects neurons from DLK-mediated neurodegeneration by preventing apoptosis and inflammation in a mouse model of demyelination.

The paper identifies 8 functional subtypes of rodent ipRGCs and shows they have distinct photosensitivity and response timing, with varying performance under different light conditions.

The paper identifies a subtype of ipRGCs projecting to the SON and shows they encode ground luminance through a non-overlapping tiled mosaic in the dorsal retina.

The paper identifies two distinct amacrine cell subtypes in the mouse retina using Gbx2, revealing their unique molecular, morphological, and physiological properties.
