INVESTIGATION OF HEMI-GAP-JUNCTION CHANNELS IN RETINAL HORIZONTAL CELLS

Hemi-gap-junction (HGJ) channels composed of connexin (Cx) proteins are proposed as the key component to mediate the negative feedback pathway from horizontal cells (HCs) to photoreceptors in the outer retina. The goal of the research undertaken in this dissertation was to test whether HGJ channels...
