The Analysis of Brn3a and Thy1-CFP as Potential Markers of Retinal Ganglion Cells after Optic Nerve Injury in Mice
(2013-07-05)Purpose: Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss is a measure of the progression of many visual disorders. It is important to identify RGCs with good specificity, so RGC numbers can be reliably analyzed. The purpose of this study ... -
CHARACTERIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE M2 MELANOPSIN RETINAL GANGLION CELL IN THE CLM-1 TRANSGENIC MOUSE RETINA
(2012-09-06)Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) undergo continued maturation after birth. RGC development can be influenced by light, but for most RGCs this requires the development of functional retinal circuits that occurs up to 2 weeks ... -
Labelling and Longitudinal In Vivo Imaging of Retinal Ganglion Cells
(2018-09-28)The ability to detect and quantify retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss is important for the diagnosis and monitoring of optic neuropathies, such as glaucoma. This thesis describes the development, assessment, and implementation ... -
NITRIC OXIDE NEUROMODULATION OF VERTEBRATE GAP JUNCTION-COUPLED RETINAL HORIZONTAL CELLS
(2022-08-18)Horizontal cells (HCs) are second-order neurons of the vertebrate retina that are thought to contribute to the generation of the surround component of center-surround receptive fields of bipolar and ganglion cells that are ... -
Role of Na(v)1.6 and Visual Experience in Retinal and Brain Maturation during the Early Postnatal Period
(2016-08-31)The Scn8a gene encodes the voltage-gated sodium channel isoform Nav1.6, playing a key role in saltatory conduction across the nodes of Ranvier in the CNS. One Scn8a mutation, termed degenerating muscle (dmu) (Scn8admu/dmu) ... -
THE ROLE OF TYROSINASE IN THE TIME COURSE OF LIGHT-INDUCED CONE MOVEMENTS IN GOLDFISH RETINA
(2016-04-08)Many teleosts regulate the amount of light incident to the retina through retinomotor movements (RMMs), adjustments of the length of photoreceptors and the distribution of melanin within retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). ...
