Paper on how horizontal cells shape response dynamics of retinal ganglion cells in "Neuron"
Our microelectrode array technology greatly contributed to find out how diverse retinal functions arise from feedback at first visual synapse. Six distinct effects in response characteristics of ganglion cells were found as reported in Neuron.
