Top-down modulation of the retinal code via histaminergic neurons of the hypothalamus

Rebekah A. Warwick, Serena Riccitelli, Alina S. Heukamp, Hadar Yaakov, Bani Prasad Swain, Lea Ankri, Jonathan Mayzel, Noa Gilead, Reut Parness-Yossifon, Stefano Di Marco, Michal Rivlin‐Etzion

This study identifies histaminergic neurons from the hypothalamus projecting to the retina, showing they modulate retinal ganglion cell activity and visual sensitivity.

Realistic retinal modeling unravels the differential role of excitation and inhibition to starburst amacrine cells in direction selectivity

Elishai Ezra Tsur, Oren Amsalem, Lea Ankri, Pritish Patil, Idan Segev, Michal Rivlin‐Etzion

The paper develops a retinal model to show that excitatory input kinetics and SAC-SAC inhibition are critical for SAC centrifugal preference and direction selectivity.

Antagonistic center-surround mechanisms for direction selectivity in the retina

Lea Ankri, Elishai Ezra Tsur, Shir R. Maimon, Nathali Kaushansky, Michal Rivlin‐Etzion

The paper investigates how center-surround antagonism in retinal starburst amacrine cells contributes to direction selectivity in ganglion cells.
