Loss of photoreceptors results in upregulation of synaptic proteins in bipolar cells and amacrine cells.
Deafferentation is known to cause significant changes in the postsynaptic neurons in the central nervous system. Loss of photoreceptors, for instance, results in remarkable morphological and physiological changes in bipolar cells and horizontal cells. Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which send visual...
