Chronic neuropathic pain remains an unmet clinical problem because it is often resistant to conventional analgesics. Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are involved in nociceptive processing at the spinal level, but their functions in neuropathic pain are not fully known. In

We propose that the end product of chromophore bleaching in rod photoreceptors, all-trans retinol, is part of a feedback loop that increases the sensitivity of the phototransduction cascade in rods. A previously described light-induced hypersensitivity in rods, termed adaptive potentiation

To define the functional roles of Grk1 and Grk7 in zebrafish cones in vivo. Genome editing was used to generate grk7a and grk1b knockout zebrafish. Electroretinogram (ERG) analyses of the isolated cone mass receptor potential and the b-wave were performed

To determine the influence of RIBEYE deletion and the resulting absence of synaptic ribbons on retinal light signaling by electroretinography. Full-field flash electroretinograms (ERGs) were recorded in RIBEYE knock-out (KO) and wild-type (WT) littermate mice under photopic and scotopic conditions
