In the eye of the observer: Visual processing at the heart of the retina (switchBoard)

Start date: Nov 1, 2015, End date: Oct 31, 2019,

All visual information is broadcasted by an intra-retinal pathway formed by a group of neurons called bipolar cells. They collect photoreceptor signals in the outer retina and relay the signals to the inner retinal neurons. This transfer of visual information is far from passive: Each of the at least 10 bipolar cell types transforms the photoreceptor signals in a unique and highly specific way. As ...
