Description
This is a textbook on retinal function which covers basic knowledge to current topics in vision research. Topics include phototransduction, function of the retinal neurons and glial cells, neuronal networks, colour vision and regeneration of the retina. This book is aimed at students and scientists interested in the neuroscience of vision.
