1.
Masland R
Neurochem Int . 2010 May; 1C:501-18. PMID: 20487758
Acetylcholine in the retina is synthesized and released by a sparse group of amacrine cells that symmetrically line both margins of the inner plexiform layer. The action of these neurons...
2.
Tauchi M, Madigan N, Masland R
J Comp Neurol . 2009 Feb; 293(2):178-89. PMID: 19189710
Rabbit retinas were fixed with mixed aldehydes and examined for the fluorescence of catecholamines. Labeled cell bodies were present in the layer of the amacrine cells. A band of fluorescent...

Masland R
Nat Neurosci . 2001 Aug; 4(9):877-86. PMID: 11528418
The retina, like many other central nervous system structures, contains a huge diversity of neuronal types. Mammalian retinas contain approximately 55 distinct cell types, each with a different function. The...

Masland R
Curr Opin Neurobiol . 2001 Aug; 11(4):431-6. PMID: 11502388
The listing of cell types present in the retina is nearing completion, the first time this can be said for any significantly complex sample of the central nervous system. Mammalian...

Keyser K, MacNeil M, Dmitrieva N, Wang F, Masland R, Lindstrom J
Vis Neurosci . 2001 Jan; 17(5):743-52. PMID: 11153654
Acetylcholine (ACh) in the vertebrate retina affects the response properties of many ganglion cells, including those that display directional selectivity. Three beta and eight alpha subunits of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine...

Brown S, Masland R
Nat Neurosci . 2001 Jan; 4(1):44-51. PMID: 11135644
Human visual perception and many visual system neurons adapt to the luminance and contrast of the stimulus. Here we describe a form of contrast adaptation that occurs in the retina....
7.
Brown S, He S, Masland R
Neuron . 2000 Sep; 27(2):371-83. PMID: 10985356
We studied the fine spatial structure of the receptive fields of retinal ganglion cells and its relationship to the dendritic geometry of these cells. Cells from which recordings had been...
8.
Masland R, Raviola E
Annu Rev Neurosci . 2000 Jun; 23:249-84. PMID: 10845065
The mammalian retina contains upward of 50 distinct functional elements, each carrying out a specific task. Such diversity is not rare in the central nervous system, but the retina is...
9.
Euler T, Masland R
J Neurophysiol . 2000 Apr; 83(4):1817-29. PMID: 10758094
We recorded light-evoked responses from rod and cone bipolar cells using patch-clamp techniques in a slice preparation of the rat retina. Rod bipolar cells responded to light with a sustained...
10.
Rockhill R, Euler T, Masland R
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2000 Feb; 97(5):2303-7. PMID: 10688875
We studied the mosaics of six types of retinal neurons, asking how the position of a cell relates to the positions of other cells of that same type and also...
