Image Credit: Dr. William Grimes. Description: Dendro-somatic synaptic contact between an inhibitory interneuron (magenta) and a retinal ganglion cell (yellow). These synaptic contacts, described in Grimes et al., 2021, convey high-sensitivity visual signals under low light conditions. In the dark, a sustained OFFα ganglion cell transmits a steady train of action potentials down its axon (white arrow). Dim light stimuli activate the interneuron, which inhibits the OFFα soma and interrupts spiking.

About NINDS Division of Intramural Research

The present Intramural Research program of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) began in the early 1950's with research programs in basic neuroscience, neurology and neurosurgery. Today investigators in the NINDS intramural program conduct research in the basic, translational, and clinical neurosciences at the NINDS Bethesda, Maryland laboratories.
