Fantastic new paper from @pierre-mattar.bsky.social lab!

Nice turnout for the @fightblindness.bsky.social #VisionWalk in Pittsburgh. #ShareYourVision

#FluorescenceFriday 🌿🔬 post: Avian retina transduced with my AAVs carrying the #GluSNFR biosensor. Bright blobs at the top mark photoreceptor terminals; meanwhile below, an RGC connects beautifully with bipolar cells, giving a glimpse of retinal circuitry in action. #Retina #Neuroscience #AAV #2-P

#Visual #salience generation involves center-surround dynamics, but what performs these computations? This study shows that the #SuperiorColliculus encodes center-surround dynamics under isolated conditions, and provides insights into the circuit implementation @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4n7RpsA

1of2) New from the ARIA lab in eLife: This article shows that it is possible to optogenetically activate single retinal ganglion cells in vivo in monkeys. This is an important step toward causal tests of the role of specific ganglion cell types in visual perception...

In @jgp.org, Horie, Kitano, Tachibana, Koike et al. show that TRPM1 deficiency in ON bipolar cells produces retinal ganglion cell oscillations in association with rod bipolar cell axon remodeling and reduced ON bipolar cell outputs rupress.org/jgp/article/... #Neuroscience

Thanks Bryan! Nice pic of me. I don't even remember you taking it. Eagerly awaiting the Visionarium pics 😊

👁️ UPMC Vision Institute is restoring sight! The PRIMA wireless retinal implant + camera glasses helped patients with advanced macular degeneration regain functional vision. Over 80% saw measurable improvement. #VisionRestoration #Neuroprosthetics #UPMC #Pitt www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

🚨 New preprint out from our lab! 📄 The Rod Bipolar Cell Pathway Contributes to Surround Responses in OFF Retinal Ganglion Cells 👉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In the retina, amacrine cells boost contrast by silencing nearby signals, helping your brain detect edges and details. Retinal ganglion cells then send that refined picture to your brain through the optic nerve. Data from @neuralmapping.bsky.social 👀🧠

Our new preprint is out. Our study on Retinitis Pigmentosa animal model shows improved photoreceptor survival when rod transducin, a key protein involved in light signaling, is reduced. @fvinberg.bsky.social @moraneyecenter.bsky.social @utah.edu www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
