Synaptic transmission from horizontal cells to cones is impaired by loss of connexin hemichannels.

Synaptic transmission from horizontal cells to cones is impaired by loss of connexin hemichannels.

In the vertebrate retina, horizontal cells generate the inhibitory surround of bipolar cells, an essential step in contrast enhancement. For the last decades, the mechanism involved in this inhibitory synaptic pathway has been a major controversy in retinal research. One hypothesis suggests that con...
