The general principles of retinal organization are now well known. It may seem surprising
that retinal organization in the primate, which has a complex visual behavioral repertoire, …

This review summarizes our current knowledge of primate including human retina focusing
on bipolar, amacrine and ganglion cells and their connectivity. We have two main motivations …

Three approaches to study the function of mammalian rod bipolar cells are described.
Extracellular recordings from the intact cat eye under light- and dark-adapted conditions showed …

An antibody directed against protein kinase C (PKC) was applied to various mammalian
retinae. In the cat, rat, rabbit, and macaque monkey we found PKC‐like immunoreactivity in …

LETTERS TO NATURE Page 1 LETTERS TO NATURE If Heteroclinus larvae must eat very
soon after birth, as our experience and the absence of yolk reserves indicates, then it is …

The question of whether the large area occupied by the primate fovea in the visual cortex (VI)
is the result of a selective amplification of the central visual field, or whether it merely …

Cone pedicles, the synaptic terminals of cone photoreceptors, are connected in the
macaque monkey retina to several hundred postsynaptic dendrites. Using light and electron …

The retina is a specialized neural tissue that senses light and initiates image processing.
Although the functional organization of specific retina cells has been well studied, the …

Glycine receptors (GlyRs) and their role in retinal circuitry were analyzed immunocytochemically
in the rat retina. Specific antibodies against the alpha 1 subunit of the GlyR and against …
