At #MBL Visual Neuroscience course w/ Anna Jansson @anna_m_neuro, Angel Robles-Gomez & Leonor Afrima. Using 2P microscopy to image transfer of visual signals into & out of bipolar cells in retina of larval zebrafish. Great fun! Thanks to Directors @RichKramerLab & @SchwartzLabNU
The #retina, like other brain circuits, is under modulatory control.
@yesiamohyes and @JosMoyaDaz1 show that "Substance P and dopamine form a “push-pull” system that diurnally regulates retinal gain".

Modulation of retinal gain is accompanied by changes in patterns of vesicle release at the synapses of bipolar cells: increased gain shifts coding of stimulus strength from the rate of release events to their amplitude generated by a process of multivesicular release (MVR).

Now published in @JNeurosci : Reward modulates visual responses in the superficial superior colliculus of mice. Independently of arousal and other behaviours. tinyurl.com/rxyzkahs
Learn more at our poster #SfN2023 with @IntoNeurons:

Does reward affect vision? We found neurons in mouse superior colliculus that increase their visual responses after reward. Read more about it in the lab’s first paper with @IntoNeurons and @allemanjm: bit.ly/3zmpe35 #tweeprint (1/7)
Many thanks to @teulerlab, @CellTypist, @NeuroFishh & Bela Volgyi for organizing a great European Retina Meeting in sunny and colourful Tubingen #ERM2023
A research and teaching position in Neuroscience is open at the University of Sussex. Great opportunity to join the @SussexNeuro community. Please RT.
