## Abstract Melanopsin is the photopigment of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). Melanopsin immunoreactivity reveals two dendritic plexuses within the inner plexiform layer (IPL) and morphologically heterogeneous retinal ganglion cells. Using enhanced immunohistochemistry

In part because of its laminar organization and morphologically distinct cell populations, the vertebrate retina has often been used as a system for investigating the assembly of neural structures. The retinas of adult teleost fish, because they grow throughout life and can regenerate following an i
Over the past several decades, anatomical and electrophysiological analyses have demonstrated that the electrical activity of neurons is required for development of the precise patterns of synaptic connectivity found in the adult central nervous system. However, knowledge of the molecular cascades t
The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is essential for eye development by interacting with the overlaying neuroepithelium. Regulatory sequences of the gene encoding for tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TRP-1), linked to the lacZ reporter gene, lead to strong and specific โค-galactosidase expression in th
