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 …

Vogt Koyanagi Harada Syndrome (VKH)
This imagery is from a patient with Vogt Koyanagi Harada Syndrome (VKH). VKH is a presumed autoimmune disease that presents with waxing and waning subretinal fluid. There is chromic uveitis with other neurological and dermatological symptoms. The precise mechanism of the disease is unknown, though it is thought that the autoimmune involvement of melanocytes in …
