Article Synopsis
- The vertebrate retina has specialized neural circuits, known as direction-selective (DS) circuits, that are crucial for detecting motion and are found in species from zebrafish to primates.
- This review traces the development of DS circuits, discussing cellular, molecular, and activity-based factors that guide their formation, including specific genetic programs and molecular interactions essential for motion detection.
- DS circuits not only play vital roles in visual behavior but also have implications for understanding certain human visual diseases, making them a key model for studying neural connectivity.
Annual changes in day length enhance or suppress diverse aspects of immune function, giving rise to seasonal cycles of illness and mortality. The daily light-dark cycle also entrains circadian rhythms in immunity. Most published reports on immunological seasonality rely on measurements or interventions performed only at one point in the day.
