Targeting genes to specific neuronal or glial cell types is valuable for both understanding
and repairing brain circuits. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are frequently used for gene …

Purpose.: Neurodegeneration as an early event of diabetic retinopathy preceding clinically
detectable vascular alterations is a widely proven issue today. While there is evidence for the …

Relevant data on the distribution of color cones are summarized, with special emphasis on
the marked dorso–ventral asymmetries observed in a number of mammalian species. In …

In diabetes, retinal dysfunctions exist prior to clinically detectable vasculopathy, however the
pathology behind these functional deficits is still not fully established. Previously, our group …

Retinal connexins (Cx) form gap junctions (GJ) in key circuits that transmit average or
synchronize signals. Expression of Cx36, -45, -50 and -57 have been described in many species …

Connexin36 (Cx36) constituent gap junctions (GJ) throughout the brain connect neurons into
functional syncytia. In the retina they underlie the transmission, averaging and correlation …

purpose. To decide whether the identical topography of short-and middle-wavelength cone
photoreceptors in two species of rodents reflects the presence of both opsins in all cone cells…

Purpose.: Organ cultures of the rodent retina could provide a powerful tool in the study of
cone development and differentiation. Previous attempts, however, have failed to show M-cone …

We used immunocytochemistry to determine the presence and topographical density
distributions of rods, cones, and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in the …

The literature indicates that in diabetes retinal dysfunctions related to neural retinal alterations
exist prior to clinically detectable vasculopathy. In a previous report, a detailed description …
