Abstract

Two pillars of retinal function, horizontal cell feedback to photoreceptors and center-surround antagonistic receptive fields, are linked in a cause-and-effect relationship. New findings extend the horizontal cell signaling repertoire, prompting insight into the circuits necessary for outer retinal visual processing.
