A Self-Regulating Gap Junction Network of Amacrine
Cells Controls Nitric Oxide Release in the Retina
Jacoby et al. show that a single amacrine cell type, the nNOS-2 AC, controls nitric oxide (NO) release in the retina. nNOS-2 ACs are electrically coupled in the dark and decouple in the light by sensing their own NO release.

Cell Reports paper featured in Scientifica's "Research News"
Lead author, Dr. Jason Jacoby, said: “One current objective in the field of neuroscience is to map the connectivity between specific sets of neurons and determine that circuit’s functional role. This paper not only bridges the gap between the physical wiring of a retinal circuit and the neural computation it performs but offers new techniques that may help others identify neural circuits and test its function through targeted, cell-specific ablation.”

On the cover: Identifying specific neural circuits is a fundamental endeavor in neuroscience. Jacoby et al. applied a combination of paired electrophysiological recordings and cell-specific ablation to establish a new amacrine and ganglion cell microcircuit in the mouse retina. The authors show that inhibition from CRH-1 amacrine cells plays a central role in the characteristic and unique contrast response function of Suppressed-by-Contrast retinal ganglion cells. This image was created and composed by author Jason Jacoby, using a photograph of his own eye taken by Thomas Campone Photography.
