Cone opsin mislocalization in Rpe65-/- mice: A defect that can be corrected by 11-cis retinal
(The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, Inc., 2005)PURPOSE: In retinal degenerative diseases, rod photoreceptors typically deteriorate more rapidly than cone photoreceptors. In the Rpe65(-/-) mouse, a model for Leber's congenital amaurosis, cones degenerate much more rapidly ... -
Morphological characterization of the retina of the CNGA3(-/-)Rho(-/-) mutant mouse lacking functional cones and rods
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2004)PURPOSE. To assess the structural changes in the retina caused by a functional blockade of rods and cones and to document the time course of their degeneration. METHODS. Double knockout mice were generated by cross-breeding ... -
Synaptic plasticity in GNGA3-/- mice: Cone bipolar cells react up0onthe missing cone input and form ectopic synapses with rods
(The Society for Neuroscience, 2006)In the mammalian retina, rods and cones connect to distinct sets of bipolar cells. Rods are presynaptic to a single type of rod bipolar cell, whereas cones connect to different types of cone bipolar cells. Synaptic rewiring ...
