Maturation of intrinsic membrane properties in rat retinal ganglion cells
In view of the prominent role of voltage-activated conductances in both neuronal differentiation and signal transmission, the present study describes developmental alterations of ion channel properties during the functional maturation of rat RGCs, i.e., between embryonic day 15 when RGCs start to differentiate (E15) and postnatal day 35 (P35) when the retina is fully developed and the animals h...
متن کاملHeterogeneous intrinsic firing properties of vertebrate retinal ganglion cells.
Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) use their characteristic firing patterns to encode various aspects of visual information and carry them to the brain. It has been thought that the firing pattern of an RGC's light response is determined primarily by the time course and spatiotemporal interaction of the synaptic inputs. However, it is unclear whether there is a difference in intrinsic firing propert...
متن کاملIntrinsic physiological properties of rat retinal ganglion cells with a comparative analysis.
Mammalian retina contains 15-20 different retinal ganglion cell (RGC) types, each of which is responsible for encoding different aspects of the visual scene. The encoding is defined by a combination of RGC synaptic inputs, the neurotransmitter systems used, and their intrinsic physiological properties. Each cell's intrinsic properties are defined by its morphology and membrane characteristics, ...
متن کاملSpatial receptive field properties of rat retinal ganglion cells.
The rat is a popular animal model for vision research, yet there is little quantitative information about the physiological properties of the cells that provide its brain with visual input, the retinal ganglion cells. It is not clear whether rats even possess the full complement of ganglion cell types found in other mammals. Since such information is important for evaluating rodent models of vi...
