The human brain can recreate images by combining parallel streams of information emitted by about one million retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). RGCs exhibit an astonishing functional,anatomical, and molecular diversity and their preference for particular features of the visual scene(contrast, motion, etc.) can be attributed to synaptic...

Vision begins with the photoreceptors converting light from the visual scene into electrical signals, compressing our visual world into a code of action potentials sent to the brain by the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). A human retina contains almost 1 million RGCs and each of these cells interprets different features of the visual scene...

Abstract book

Retinal neurons come in remarkable diversity based on structure, function and genetic identity. Classifying these cells is a challenging task, requiring multimodal methodology. Here, we introduce a novel approach for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) classification, based on pharmacogenetics combined with immunohistochemistry and large-scale retinal...
