Molecular fingerprinting of on–off direction-selective retinal ganglion cells across species and relevance to primate visual circuits
Summary:
The paper discusses the identification of a molecular marker for retinal ganglion cells encoding directional motion, which is conserved in mice and rabbits, but not in primates, providing insight into the identity and organization of primate parallel visual pathways.
