Progress in Retinal Research

Abstract

Volume 9 in theProgress in Retinal Researchseries represents a broad sampling of review articles aimed primarily at those with basic research topics covered in the 12 chapters range from population genetics to retinal transplantation. Several of the articles are related to three general subject areas that are recurrent themes within this series: inner retinal neurons, retinal circuitry, and retinal metabolism. Material dealing with neurons of the inner retina is grouped into three chapters according to either cell type (The Mosaic of Amacrine Cells in the Mammalian Retina by D. I. Vaney) or neurotransmitter type (Cell Types Using Glutamate as a Neurotransmitter in the Vertebrate Retina by S. C. Massey and The Dopamine System of the Teleost Fish Retina by Negishi et al). ... aimed primarily at those with basic research interests. Retinal circuitry is discussed in the context of the Photoreceptor Output Synapse (by D. Atwell) and
