Cell replacement therapy offers a therapeutic approach for patients with advanced disease in which there has been loss of photoreceptors, RPE or retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Age-related macular ...
USC researchers use 3D microscopy and genetically engineered viruses to visualize and distinguish specific retinal ganglion cell types (shown here in green) from other cells in the retina (purple).
Another type of photoreceptors in the retina, called intrinsically-photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), use long protrusions (axons) that form the optic nerve to convey visual signals ...
In the tadpole stage, the eyes are lateral and all ganglion cells project axons to the contralateral side of the brain (retina is denoted by curves, ganglion cell axons are denoted by lines).
My specific research has been to investigate complex neural computations in retinal ganglion cells, the first locus in the visual system of highly specific and nonlinear analyses such as motion and ...
