This dissertation showcases three independent studies that address various unknown aspects of a paraneoplastic syndrome called melanoma-associated retinopathy (MAR). Thro [...]

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

Rod bipolar cells (RBCs) are the first interneurons in the primary rod visual pathway. RBCs transmit light-driven signals from rods in the outer retina and contribute to [...]

During development, specific combinations of molecular cues guide the proper formation of neural circuits. Neuronal migration, axon guidance, and synapse [...]
