While overarching principles of how these interneurons are functioning is known, specifics as to what an individual amacrine cell (AC) type responds to in the visual scene and what cohort of presynaptic mechanisms create this selectivity are largely unknown. Much remains to be uncovered about the precise mechanisms of action for individual types. In this thesis I studied several types of genetically identified ACs that would otherwise be seldom encountered without a pre-labeling approach. 000009446 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009446 650__ $$aRetina$$025387 000009446 650__ $$aAmacrine Cells$$033165 000009446 650__ $$aNeurosciences$$022870 000009446 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009446 7001_ $$aLeffler, Joseph A. 000009446 8564_ $$9b9b9f0ce-8ad8-42e2-84a3-1e51dcf31db5$$s16740573$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9446/files/Leffler.Joseph.2022.pdf 000009446 905__ $$a/rest/prod/f7/62/3d/18/f7623d188 000009446 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9446$$pstudent-work 000009446 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
