JOURNAL OF INTEGRATIVE NEUROSCIENCE http://www.worldscinet.com/jin Call for Papers! Special Issue on Retinal Mechanisms Underlying Motion Perception in Vertebrates This call for paper s is dedicated to the work of Vaxim Maximov on the general theme of retinal directional selectivity in vertebrates. All papers are welcome that describe neurophysiology, anatomical or neural modelling of retinal circuitries underlying motion perception. 1. Can asymmetry be justified based on anatomical studies showing less inhibitory synapses between SAC and DSGC in the null direction? 2. Is calcium bias to somatofugal motion due to intrinsic properties of SAC or is calcium bias in centrifugal motion caused by presynaptic delay in glutamate receptor activation induced calcium? 3. Are SACs are connected asymmetrically to DSGCs: those pointing in the null direction deliver inhibition; those pointing in the preferred direction do not? 4. Is intracellular calcium signal and not the membrane potential (voltage) directionally selective?
