Abstract:


The output of retinal bipolar neurons has two components; transient and sustained outputs, that are unique between most of the neurons. The uniqueness originates from the existence of an extra protein structure called ‘ribbon’. Transient outputs are taken place exactly after a large enough stimulus while sustained outputs are taken place at any state with different rates. We presented two mathematical frameworks for the cells’ output to study the gene ...
