Neural Network Adaptation in the Retina: Dopaminergic Signaling Mechanisms

The initial steps of vision - the transduction and encoding of physical light stimuli into neural signals - occur in the retina, a multi-layered sheet of neurons that lines the back of the eye. Retinal dopamine (DA) acts as the principal modulatory neurotransmitter, whose signaling is driven by bot...
