Journal ArticleDOI

Development of retinal ganglion cell structure and function.

TL;DR: The main stages of structural and functional development of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are summarized and the development of intrinsic membrane properties and how they might contribute to the spontaneous firing patterns observed before the onset of vision are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developmental Loss of Synchronous Spontaneous Activity in the Mouse Retina Is Independent of Visual Experience

TL;DR: It is suggested that visual experience is not required for the loss of synchronous spontaneous activity in the mature retina, and synchronous firing in mice raised in the dark is comparable with that observed in the adult.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detecting Pairwise Correlations in Spike Trains: An Objective Comparison of Methods and Application to the Study of Retinal Waves

TL;DR: This work reanalyzes data from seven key studies, which previously used the correlation index to investigate the nature of spontaneous activity, and proposes a novel measure of correlation—the spike time tiling coefficient, which has two undesirable properties: it is unbounded above and confounded by firing rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Following the ontogeny of retinal waves: pan-retinal recordings of population dynamics in the neonatal mouse

TL;DR: Recordings of mouse retinal waves provide a new, deeper understanding of developmental changes in retinal spontaneous activity patterns, which will help researchers in the investigation of the role of early retinal activity during wiring of the visual system.
