Here we show that at bright light levels, mouse rods act as relay cells for cone-driven horizontal cell–mediated surround inhibition. In response to large, bright stimuli that activate their ...

Neuronal and immunologic NOS have been detected in the retina. Neuronal NOS may be responsible for producing nitric oxide in photoreceptors and bipolar cells. Nitric oxide stimulates guanylate cyclase ...

In Alg mutant embryos, rod cells are initially born but not maintained and undergo programmed cell death indicated in magenta (TUNEL staining). The embargoed text of the article and embargoed ...
