Superior colliculus-projecting GABAergic retinal ganglion cells mediate looming-evoked flight response
Summary:
The paper discusses a study on superior colliculus-projecting GABAergic retinal ganglion cells (spgRGCs) in mice, and how they transmit the looming signal from the retina to the brain to mediate the looming-evoked flight behavior by releasing GABA.
Categories
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how spgRGCs transmit the looming signal from the retina to the brain, which is relevant to cognitive function and memory as it involves the processing and interpretation of visual stimuli.
- Eye health: The paper discusses the role of spgRGCs in the retina, making it relevant to eye health.
- Neurology: The paper discusses the neurological processes involved in the transmission of the looming signal from the retina to the brain, making it relevant to neurology.
