Actually, this is just about bipolar cells. It just seemed obligatory to refer to the anti-semitism issue.
I just lectured on the amazing sequence of events beginning with the capture of photons by rods and ending with firing in retinal ganglion cells. I told my class that the neurotransmitter released by rods onto bipolar cells is glutamate. A student wanted to know what the neurotransmitter was that allowed bipolars to depolarize ganglion cells. Does anyone know? With a reference, hopefully? And I also hope Linda doesn't think my question is anti-semitic. -Stephen ______________________________________________________________ Stephen L.
