Abstract:In order to improve upon existing stimulation strategies for prosthetic vision, it is essential to assess stimulation effectiveness by measuring the responses of stimulated cells in retinal tissue. Calcium imaging has slower dynamics and lower signal-to-noise ratio than electrophysiological techniques. However, it has the ability to record responses from a large number of neurons, and is able to monitor responses from neurites too small for patch electrodes. We extended previous techniques of bulk loading RGC … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
