Whereas in the brain, the activity of the neurons is supported by several types of glial cells such as astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal cells, the retina (evolving from the brain during ontogenesis) contains only one type of macroglial cell, the Müller (radial glial) cells, in most verteb

## Abstract Glial modulation of synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability in the mammalian retina is mediated by several mechanisms. Stimulation of glial cells evokes Ca^2+^ waves, which propagate through the network of retinal astrocytes and Müller cells and result in the modulation of the a

## Abstract The strength of electrical coupling between retinal glial cells was quantified with simultaneous whole‐cell current‐clamp recordings from astrocyte–astrocyte, astrocyte–Müller cell, and Müller cell–Müller cell pairs in the acutely isolated rat retina.

## Abstract The present study was aimed at characterizing the GABA~A~ receptor‐mediated currents in acutely isolated glial (Müller) cells of the human retina and investigating their subcellular localization across the Müller cell membrane. Extracellular application of GABA evoked two current respon

Gap junctional communication between glial cells is thought to play a role in K 1 spatial buffering, in the propagation of inter-astrocytic Ca 21 waves, and in glial-neuronal signaling. In the present study, we characterize dye coupling between astrocytes, and between astrocytes and Mu ¨ller cells,

In the continuously enlarging eye of teleost fishes retinal growth is achieved by the generation of new cells and by stretching the existing tissue. As a consequence of stretching, the density for most neurons decreases except for rod photoreceptors, which are produced by stem cells in the outer nuc
