Parallel processing in the mammalian retina.
TL;DR: The authors' eyes send different 'images' of the outside world to the brain — an image of contours (line drawing), a colour image (watercolour painting) or a image of moving objects (movie) — and circuits that involve complex inhibitory and excitatory interactions represent filters that select 'what the eye tells the brain'.

The morphological types of ganglion cells of the domestic cat's retina.
TL;DR: Three distinct morphological types of cat retinal ganglion cells have been identified and categorized as α, β and γ and these cells have dendritic field diameters from 180 to 1000 μm.

Immunocytochemical analysis of the mouse retina
Silke Haverkamp,Heinz Wässle +1 more
TL;DR: 42 different immunocytochemical markers were applied to sections of the mouse retina and studied their cellular and synaptic localization by using confocal microscopy to detect possible changes in the retinal organization of mutant mice.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that inhibition of a specific glycine receptor subtype (GlyR α3) by PGE2-induced receptor phosphorylation underlies central inflammatory pain sensitization and may provide a previously unrecognized molecular target in pain therapy.
