Photonic Crystal Light Collectors In Fish Retina Improve Vision In Turbid Water
Fish have some of the most amazing retinas in the animal kingdom. Like other fish species that live in environments with little to no light, the elephantnose fish (Gnathonemus petersii) use electrical fields to navigate through dark and murky waters. However, unlike some of those species, the elephantnose fish has not lost its eyes through evolution …

Notable Paper: Paired-Pulse Plasticity In The Strength and Latency of Light-Evoked Lateral Inhibition to Retinal Bipolar Cell Terminals
I’ve been doing some reading in plasticity recently and found this paperin the Journal of Neuroscience by Evan Vickers, Mean-Hwan Kim, Jozsef Vigh, and Henrique von Gersdorff published last summer that looks at short term plasticity in the Inner Plexiform Layer mediating light adaptation. Working in goldfish (Carassius auratus auratus) retina (an amazing retina), Vickers et. al. used …

Interesting: The Spatial Organization Of Cholinergic Mosaics In The Adult Mouse Retina
This Short Communication published in the European Journal of Neuroscience back in 2000 by Lucia Galli-Resta, Elena Novelli, Maila Volpini and Enrica Strettoi was a paper I did not know existed. That said, I ran into it the other day looking for some reference material and found it to be quite useful. This communication represents an analysis of …
