Role of neurotransmitter receptors in mediating light-evoked responses in retinal interplexiform cells.
Interplexiform (IP) cells are a long-neglected group of retinal neurons the function of which is yet to be determined. Anatomical study indicates that IP cells are located in the inner nuclear layer, juxtaposed with the third-order neurons. However, the synaptic transmission of IP cells in the inner retina is poorly understood. Using whole cell patch-clamp and pharmacological techniques, we ext...
متن کاملCalcium spike-mediated digital signaling increases glutamate output at the visual threshold of retinal bipolar cells.
Most retinal bipolar cells (BCs) transmit visual input from photoreceptors to ganglion cells using graded potentials, but some also generate calcium or sodium spikes. Sodium spikes are thought to increase temporal precision of light-evoked BC signaling; however, the role of calcium spikes in BCs is not fully understood. Here we studied how calcium spikes and graded responses mediate neurotransm...
متن کاملAMPA receptor - dependent , light - evoked D - serine release acts on retinal ganglion cell NMDA 1 receptors
18 NMDA receptor (NMDAR) activation requires coincident binding of the excitatory neurotransmitter 19 glutamate and a coagonist, either glycine or D-serine. Changes in NMDAR currents during neural 20 transmission are typically attributed to glutamate release against a steady background of coagonist, 21 excluding the possibility of coagoinst release. AMPA receptor (AMPAR) stimulation evokes D-se...

Physiological and pharmacological mechanisms of glutamatergic, GABAergic and glycinergic synapses in the tiger salamander retina were studied. We used immunocytochemical and autoradiographic methods to study localizations of these neurotransmitters and their uptake transporters; and electrophysiological methods (intracellular, extracellular and whole cell patch electrode recordings) to study th...
