Identification of retinal ganglion cells and their projections involved in central transmission of information about upward and downward image motion.

Identification of retinal ganglion cells and their projections involved in central transmission of information about upward and downward image motion.

The direction of image motion is coded by direction-selective (DS) ganglion cells in the retina. Particularly, the ON DS ganglion cells project their axons specifically to terminal nuclei of the accessory optic system (AOS) responsible for optokinetic reflex (OKR). We recently generated a knock-in m...
