Sophisticated temporal pattern recognition in retinal ganglion cells.
Pattern recognition is one of the most important tasks of the visual system, and uncovering the neural mechanisms underlying recognition phenomena has been a focus of researchers for decades. Surprisingly, at the earliest stages of vision, the retina is capable of highly sophisticated temporal pattern recognition. We stimulated the retina of tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) with periodic d...
متن کاملTemporal modulation sensitivity of tree shrew retinal ganglion cells.
Tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri) are small diurnal mammals capable of quick and agile navigation. Electroretinographic and behavioral studies have indicated that tree shrews possess very good temporal vision, but the neuronal mechanisms underlying that temporal vision are not well understood. We used single-unit extracellular recording techniques to characterize the temporal response properties o...
متن کاملProcessing of natural temporal stimuli by macaque retinal ganglion cells.
This study quantifies the performance of primate retinal ganglion cells in response to natural stimuli. Stimuli were confined to the temporal and chromatic domains and were derived from two contrasting environments, one typically northern European and the other a flower show. The performance of the cells was evaluated by investigating variability of cell responses to repeated stimulus presentat...
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 کاملRetinal Ganglion Cells
Segments from adult fish and rat retinae were explanted on myelinmarker expressing oligodendrocytes derived from the regenerating goldfish optic nerve. Fish axons grew in high density and even rat retinal axons regenerated to considerable length on the surface of the fish oligodendrocytes, suggesting that this type of fish glia has axon-growth promoting surface components that exert their influ...
