ResultsFigure 1 illustrates voltage responses of six postsynaptic rods to current injection into one rod in a flat-mounted salamander retina recorded with the multielectrode whole-cell recording system. Voltage responses of Rod1,0; 2,0; 3,0; 3,−1; 1,−2; and 0,−2 (locations shown in Fig. 1A,B) to a −1 nA current step (1 s) into Rod0,0 are shown in Figure 1C.

AbstractPhotoreceptors are electrically coupled to one another, and the spatiotemporal properties of electrical synapses in a two-dimensional retinal network are still not well-studied, because of the limitation of the single electrode or pair recording techniques which do not allow simultaneously measuring responses of multiple photoreceptors at various locations in the retina. A multiple electrode recording system is needed.

Premedical students are more stressed out and burned out than ever. It’s easy to see why: pre-med courses, medical school admissions committee expectations, and application process and cost are daunting and, in their current iteration, often harmful to students and society. I am an emergency medicine and internal medicine physician at public and private teaching hospitals and direct and teach undergraduate courses at an affiliated university.
