The retina - from molecules to networks

Abstract

The broad front and fast pace of recent developments on the retina have stimulated the need for a similarly broad and quick look at how the pieces of a remarkable jigsaw puzzle are falling into place. The essays brought together here cover only some of the high points that deserve to be included, but they do span the full wealth of the terrain from the photoreceptors to the optic nerve and at a range of levels of analysis from molecular structure to circuit engineering.
