Dendro-dendritic cholinergic excitation controls dendritic spike initiation in retinal ganglion cells

Neural computations performed by the retinal microcircuit have been extensively studied. Here the authors report using dendritic recordings that the direction selective responses of retinal ganglion cells are controlled by dendro-dendritic cholinergic excitation from starburst amacrine cells.
