What the Mouse Eye Tells the Mouse Brain: A Semi-Supervised Clustering Approach for Fingerprinting the Retinal Ganglion Cell Types of the Mouse Retina

Abstract

In the retina, the stream of incoming visual information is split into multiple parallel channels, formed by different kinds of photoreceptors (PRs), bipolar cells (BCs) and ganglion cells (RGCs). These cells form complex circuits with additional interneurons tuning the channels to distinct
