The processing of visual information by retinal starburst amacrine cells (SACs) involves transforming excitatory input from bipolar (BCs) into directional calcium output. While previous studies have suggested that an asymmetry in the kinetic properties along soma-dendritic axes postsynaptic cell could enhance tuning at level individual branches, it remains unclear whether biologically relevant presynaptic kinetics contribute to direction selectivity when stimulation engages entire dendritic tree. To address this question, we built multicompartmental models bipolar–SAC circuit and trained them boost tuning.

Cholinergic signaling in the retina is mediated by acetylcholine (ACh) released from starburst amacrine cells (SACs), which are key neurons for motion detection. SACs comprise ON and OFF subtypes, morphologically show mirror symmetry to each other. Although many physiological studies on have targeted only, synaptic computation of assumed be similar. Recent demonstrated that gene expression patterns receptor types differed between SACs, suggesting differences their functions. Here, we compared cholinergic pathways mouse using patch clamp technique. The application ACh increased GABAergic feedback, observed as postsynaptic currents both SACs; however, mode feedback differed. Nicotinic receptors while muscarinic only adults. Neither tetrodotoxin, blocked action potentials, nor LY354740, neurotransmitter release eliminated ACh-induced SACs. These results suggest regulated different mechanisms adults non-spiking other than

The retina is comprised of diverse neural networks, signaling from photoreceptors to ganglion cells encode images. synaptic connections between these retinal neurons are crucial points for information transfer; however, the input-output relations many synapses understudied. Starburst amacrine in known contribute motion detection circuits, providing a unique window understanding computations. We examined dual transmitter release GABA and acetylcholine starburst by optogenetic activation cells, conducted patch clamp recordings postsynaptic record excitatory inhibitory currents (EPSCs IPSCs). As exhibit distinct kinetics response objects moving preferred or null direction, we mimicked their depolarization using stimuli varying slopes rising phase. amplitudes EPSCs IPSCs were reduced as stimulus speed was prolonged. However, sensitivity slope differed. EPSC consistently steepness phase fell. By contrast, less sensitive rise maintained until became shallow. These results indicate that mechanisms which could cells’ direction selectivity.
