TL;DR: These extrinsic ipRGC light responses can explain some of the previously reported properties of circadian photoentrainment and other non‐image‐forming visual behaviours, and also extend their temporal bandpass to higher frequencies.

TL;DR: A mechanistic model based on measurements of the physiological properties and connectivity of only the primary excitatory circuitry of the retina successfully predicts ganglion-cell responses to a variety of spatial patterns and thus provides a direct correspondence between circuit connectivity and retinal output.

TL;DR: This work finds that post-receptor adaptation occurs as signals are relayed from cone bipolar cells to ganglion cells, and finds that the two adaptive mechanisms are essentially mutually exclusive.

TL;DR: By imaging three types of postsynaptic bipolar cells and their common photoreceptor targets across development, it is found that distinct bipolar cell types engage in disparate dendritic growth behaviors, exhibit targeted or exploratory approaches to contact photoreceptors, and adhere differently to the synaptotropic model of establishing synaptic territories.
