S-nitrosylation mediates synaptic plasticity in the retina
… by a factor of 10¹⁰. In order to do so, the retina adapts to large, daily changes in natural light intensity by shifting its dynamic range of coding. For example, as morning light intensity increases, the retina implements multiple strategies that result in decreases in overall sensitivity in …

Axonal Transport of Glycoproteins and Glycolipids in the Goldfish Optic System
<p>The goldfish retino-tectal pathway is a convenient experimental system for studying axonal transport. Radioactive precursors are injected into the eye, and radioactivity which is transported in the axons of the retinal ganglion cells can be studied as it moves in the optic nerve and optic tract …

An Analysis of Spatial Summation in the Receptive Fields of Goldfish Retinal Ganglion Cells
<p>The axons of retinal ganglion cells convey the signals from which the brain constructs its visual percept of the world. The considerable processing done in the retina is implicit in these signals; it is therefore desirable to understand this processing in some detail. Only one aspect of retinal …
