Rod-cone convergence in the retina
There is a swahili adage that says: Mtu ni watu. In English this translates to A person is people. I am because there have been so many people that have invested in me. This thesis is dedicated to my immediate family, my extended family, friends, life group and work colleagues. To my father, Mr. Joshua Muchungi, though you be not with us, thank you for blessing me. I do feel your support and pr...
متن کاملRod and cone pathways in the inner plexiform layer of cat retina.
In cat retina, rod bipolar terminials do not synapse on ganglion cells but on two types of amacrine cell (types I and II). Cone bipolars synapse directly on ganglion cells and on type I amacrines. The type II amacrine appears to play a special internuncial role between bipolars and ganglion cells in the rod system.
متن کاملMicrocircuitry of the dark-adapted cat retina: functional architecture of the rod-cone network.
The structure of the rod-cone network in the area centralis of cat retina was studied by reconstruction from serial electron micrographs. About 48 rods converge on each cone via gap junctions between the rod spherules and the basal processes of the cone pedicle. One rod diverges to 2.4 cones through these gap junctions, and each cone connects to 8 other cones, also through gap junctions. A stat...
متن کاملThe Circadian Clock in the Retina Controls Rod-Cone Coupling
Although rod and cone photoreceptor cells in the vertebrate retina are anatomically connected or coupled by gap junctions, a type of electrical synapse, rod-cone electrical coupling is thought to be weak. Using tracer labeling and electrical recording in the goldfish retina and tracer labeling in the mouse retina, we show that the retinal circadian clock, and not the retinal response to the vis...
متن کاملSimulating Light Adaptation in the Retina with Rod-Cone Coupling
The retina performs various key operations on incoming images in order to facilitate higher-level visual processing. Since the retina outperforms existing image enhancing techniques, it follows that computational simulations with biological plausibility are best suited to inform their design and development, as well as help us better understand retina functionality. Recently, it has been determ...
