Optic nerve injury impairs intrinsic mechanisms underlying electrical activity in a resilient retinal ganglion cell Abstract figure legend Schematic view of the effects of axon injury (optic nerve crush) on the physiology of a sustained ON-Alpha (AlphaONS) retinal ganglion cell (RGC). These cells are highly resili....

After injury some RGCs survive but do they thrive? In this collaboration with Jonathan Demb's lab (Yale), we looked into the physiology of resilient RGCs after axon injury. Their visual responses largely remain intact but they exhibit reduced intrinsic excitability, coincident with AIS disassembly.
