Concepts and Challenges in Retinal Biology (Progress in by Helga Kolb, Harris Ripps, Samuel Wu, H. Kolb, Samuel

By Helga Kolb, Harris Ripps, Samuel Wu, H. Kolb, Samuel Miao-Sin Wu, John E. Dowling (Eds.)

In August 2000 a Festschrift used to be held on the Marine organic Laboratory, Woods gap, Massachusetts to have a good time the occupation of Professor John E. Dowling at the social gathering of his sixty fifth birthday. Containing contributions from greater than 50 of John's colleagues, representing a who is Who of the imaginative and prescient learn neighborhood, this paintings not just offers a keepsake of the get together, yet will optimistically function a simple reference for destiny researchers in retinal biology.The quantity is split a bit arbitrarily into seven parts of retinal study containing chapters that found in a few instances a huge assessment of a selected subject, and in others an account of present examine and stories in growth. those chapters exemplify the richness, range, and pleasure of latest retinal learn. in addition they remind us of the way even more has to be performed ahead of we comprehend absolutely the interrelationship among retinal neurons, the complicated interactions among neurons and glial cells, and the mechanisms that govern retinal development.A ultimate bankruptcy contributed through John Dowling presents an outline of previous accomplishments, and provides a few destiny views on retinal examine within the twenty first century.
