Mapping physiological inputs from multiple photoreceptor systems to dopaminergic amacrine cells in the mouse retina

Abstract In the vertebrate retina, dopamine is synthesized and released by a specialized type of amacrine cell, the dopaminergic amacrine cell (DAC). DAC activity is stimulated by rods, cones, and melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells upon illumination. However, t...
