Astrocytes are glial cells in the central nervous system that form a vast electrical network connected via gap junctions, called astrocyte syncytium. My thesis focused on [...]

We recorded light-evoked lateral inhibitory postsynaptic currents (L-IPSCs) from ON-type mixed rod/cone bipolar cell terminals in goldfish retina to characterize their ti [...]

Neurons communicate with each other either through electrical synapses formed by gap junctions, or by the synaptic release of neurotransmitters. Release of neurotransmitt [...]

Understanding the molecular and genetic identity of neuron types is prerequisite to tractable control and investigation of the behavioral relevance of discrete neuronal t [...]
