## Abstract Inherited retinal degeneration affecting both rod and cone photoreceptors constitutes one of the leading causes of blindness in the developed world. Such degeneration is at present untreatable, and the underlying neurodegenerative mechanisms are unknown, even though certain genetic caus

Mouse retinal photoreceptor cell generation and morphogenesis take place in a well-characterized temporal sequence. Both rod and cone photoreceptor differentiation and synaptogenesis occur postnatally, but the relative timing of these events has been difficult to document due to the paucity of cell-
Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (CNGC) are ligand-gated ion channels that open and close in response to changes in the intracellular concentration of the second messengers, 3Ј,5Ј-cyclic adenosine monophosphate and 3Ј,5Ј-cyclic guanosine monophosphate. Most notably, they transduce the chemical signa
## Abstract Glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) enhances the survival of a variety of neurons, including photoreceptors (PR) in the retina. In contrast to most other GDNF receptive neurons, GDNF does, however, not exert its neuroprotective activity directly on PR neurons but transmit
