Transcriptomic changes in retinal ganglion cell types associated with the disruption of cholinergic retinal waves In the early stages of retinal development, a form of correlated activity known as retinal waves causes periodic depolarizations of immature retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Retinal waves are crucial fo...

New preprint! A wonderful collaboration of our @FellerMarla lab with Matthew Po, and @shekharlab. Here, we dive into the impact of spontaneous activity on the transcriptome of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the sole output neurons of the retina. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

As my first post here, I am really excited to share a new manuscript with @ralitsamadsen.bsky.social on this platform. We looked how non-equilibrium thermodynamics helps ligand discrimination in signaling networks: t.co/ZA6NteUmaS
