Gain control by sparse, ultra-slow glycinergic synapses

Varsha Jain, Laura Hanson, Santhosh Sethuramanujam…·Gautam Bhagwan Awatramani

The paper identifies glycinergic narrow field amacrine cells as a dominant inhibitory source for retinal ON starburst amacrine cells, revealing their role in modulating direction selectivity through ultra-slow glycine receptors.

Retinal direction selectivity in the absence of asymmetric starburst amacrine cell responses

Laura Hanson, Santhosh Sethuramanujam, Geoff deRosenroll…·Gautam Bhagwan Awatramani

The paper shows that direction selectivity in retinal ganglion cells persists even when starburst amacrine cell responses are non-directional, revealing an alternative mechanism based on temporal asymmetries in excitation and inhibition.
