Stereotyped initiation of retinal waves by bipolar cells via presynaptic NMDA autoreceptors

Retinal waves are important for visual system development. However, the mechanism involved in their generation remains largely unknown. Here using in vivotwo-photon imaging the authors identify the presence of retinal waves in zebrafish larvae and find that they are initiated at bipolar cells via pr...

Stereotyped initiation of retinal waves by bipolar cells via presynaptic NMDA autoreceptors
description Retinal waves are important for visual system development. However, the mechanism involved in their generation remains largely unknown. Here using in vivotwo-photon imaging the authors identify the presence of retinal waves in zebrafish larvae and find that they are initiated at bipolar cells via presynaptic NMDARs.
