Retinal waves are governed by collective network properties.
Propagating neural activity in the developing mammalian retina is required for the normal patterning of retinothalamic connections. This activity exhibits a complex spatiotemporal pattern of initiation, propagation, and termination. Here, we discuss the behavior of a model of the developing retina using a combination of simulation and analytic calculation. Our model produces spatially and tempo...
متن کاملRetinal Development: Waves are swell
Waves of spontaneous electrical activity and calcium transients occur in the retina during its development. Recent work raises the question of how these waves are produced and propagated.
متن کاملDynamics of Retinal Waves Are Controlled by Cyclic AMP
Waves of spontaneous activity sweep across the developing mammalian retina and influence the pattern of central connections made by ganglion cell axons. These waves are driven by synaptic input from amacrine cells. We show that cholinergic synaptic transmission during waves is not blocked by TTX, indicating that release from starburst amacrine cells is independent of sodium action potentials. T...
متن کاملSeasonal controls on grassland microbial biogeography: Are they governed by plants, abiotic properties or both?
Temporal dynamics create unique and often ephemeral conditions that can influence soil microbial biogeography at different spatial scales. This study investigated the relation between decimeter to meter spatial variability of soil microbial community structure, plant diversity, and soil properties at six dates from April through November. We also explored the robustness of these interactions ov...
متن کاملDynamic Processes Shape Spatiotemporal Properties of Retinal Waves
In the developing mammalian retina, spontaneous waves of action potentials are present in the ganglion cell layer weeks before vision. These waves are known to be generated by a synaptically connected network of amacrine cells and retinal ganglion cells, and exhibit complex spatiotemporal patterns, characterized by shifting domains of coactivation. Here, we present a novel dynamical model consi...
