Local regeneration in the retina of the goldfish
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1992-03)
We have studied regeneration of the retina in the goldfish as a model of regenerative neurogenesis in the central nervous system. Using a transsclearal surgical approach, we excised small patches of retina that were replaced ...
Extrinsic current and flash sensitivity in turtle cones
(Elsevier, 1994-02)
The effects of hyperpolarizing current and background light on intracellular responses of red cones in turtle were compared. Even though a background light always reduced response amplitude, hyperpolarizing current did so ...
Management of eyelid trauma
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1991-11)
The management of eyelid trauma presents some frustrating challenges to the general ophthalmologist. Because each case is unique, adaptation of general principles is essential for optimal ophthalmic treatment. This review ...
Glutamate as a neuron-to-glial signal for mitogenesis: role of glial receptors
(Elsevier, 1993-06-11)
The presence on glial cells of receptors for neurotransmitters suggests the capability of neuron-to-glial signalling. Here, we asked whether the retinal transmitter, glutamate, may serve as a mitogenic signal for human ...
Apparently new syndrome of sensorineural hearing loss, retinal pigment epithelium lesions, and discolored teeth
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-01-06)
We report on a family with early-onset sensorineural hearing loss, abnormal retinal pigment epithelium granularity, accumulation of creamy-white lesions at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium particularly superior ...
Evidence for a power law intensity code in the coupled cones of the turtle
(Elsevier, 1990)
The hyperpolarizing responses to light were recorded intracellularly from red cones of the turtle, Pseudemys scripta elegans. Pairs of slit stimuli were flashed alone or together at various intensities, one slit positioned ...
Membrane Polarity of the Na+-K+ Pump in Primary Cultures of Xenopus Retinal Pigment Epithelium
(Elsevier, 1994-11)
The retinal pigment epithelium is a transporting epithelium that helps regulate the volume and composition of the subretinal space surrounding photoreceptor outer segments. The capacity of the RPE to actively transport Na+ ...
Kidney and Retinal Defects (Krd), a Transgene-Induced Mutation with a Deletion of Mouse Chromosome 19 That Includes the Pax2 Locus
(Elsevier, 1994-09-15)
The semidominant mutation Krd (kidney and retinal defects) was identified in transgenic line Tg8052. Krd/+ mice have a high incidence of kidney defects including aplastic, hypoplastic, and cystic kidneys. Retinal defects ...
Square root intensity coding in turtle cones: Physiological mechanisms
(Elsevier, 1990)
The effect of coupling on the intensity-response functions for full field and for slit stimuli was studied by comparing the shapes of the curves obtained from several strongly coupled red cones of turtle with that of one ...
Age related macular degeneration in monozygotic twins and their spouses in Iceland
