Lateral Inhibition in the Vertebrate Retina: The Case of the Missing Neurotransmitter.
Lateral inhibition at the first synapse in the retina is important for visual perception, enhancing image contrast, color discrimination, and light adaptation. Despite decades of research, the feedback signal from horizontal cells to photoreceptors that generates lateral inhibition remains uncertain...
