Tracing the many paths of vision
E-Mail IMAGE: The catalog allowed studying individual cell types in the retina and linking them to a specific structure, function and behavioral response. view more Credit: MPI of Neurobiology / Koelsch Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the bottleneck through which all visual impressions flow from the retina to the brain. A team from the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology, University of California Berkeley and Harvard University created a molecular catalog that describes the different types of these neurons. In this way, individual RGC types could be systematically studied and l...
