Availability of low-threshold Ca2+ current in retinal ganglion cells.
Spiking in central neurons depends on the availability of inward and outward currents activated by depolarization and on the activation and priming of currents by hyperpolarization. Of these processes, priming by hyperpolarization is the least described. In the case of T-type Ca2+ current availability, the interplay of hyperpolarization and depolarization has been studied most completely in exp...

متن کاملThreshold setting by the surround of cat retinal ganglion cells.
1. The slope of curves relating the log increment threshold to log background luminance in cat retinal ganglion cells is affected by the area and duration of the test stimulus, as it is in human pyschophysical experiments. 2. Using large area, long duration stimuli the slopes average 0-82 and approach close to 1 (Weber's Law) in the steepest cases. Small stimuli gave an average of 0-53 for on-c...
متن کاملChloride channel protein 2 prevents glutamate-induced apoptosis in retinal ganglion cells
Objective(s): The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of chloride channel protein 2 (ClC-2) in glutamate-induced apoptosis in the retinal ganglion cell line (RGC-5). Materials and Methods: RGC-5 cells were treated with 1 mM glutamate for 24 hr. The expression of ClC-2, Bax, and Bcl-2 was detected by western blot analysis. Cell survival and apoptosis were measured by 3-(4,5-dimeth...
متن کاملPerformance of cat retinal ganglion cells at low light levels
Responses of brisk-sustained cat retinal ganglion cells were examined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Stimuli were brief luminance changes superimposed upon a weak steady pedestal ranging from 27 to 47,000 quanta (507 nm) per second at the cornea. Overall quantum efficiencies of cells ranged up to approximately 13% and were compatible with previous estimates at absolute ...
