Dowling on the occasion of his 65th birthday. Containing contributions from more than 50 of John's colleagues, representing a Who's Who of the vision research community, this work not only provides a memento of the occasion, but will hopefully serve as a basic reference for future researchers in retinal biology. The volume is divided somewhat arbitrarily into seven areas of retinal research containing chapters that present in some cases a broad overview of a particular topic, and in others an account of current research and studies in progress. These chapters exemplify the richness, diversity, and excitement of contemporary retinal research. They also remind us of how much more needs to be done before we understand fully the interrelationship between retinal neurons, the complex interactions between neurons and glial cells, and the mechanisms that govern retinal development. A final chapter contributed by John Dowling provides an overview of past accomplishments, and offers some future perspectives on retinal research in the 21st century. 26-08-2017 Biology 73504 2017-2018 11576 40981 40981 0 0 ddc 0 0 Science SSMM SSMM 2017-11-15 Bright Books 7003.00 0 1 -/CON/KOL/B/21685 SSMM-BK-21685 2022-08-06 00:00:00 7003.00 2022-08-06 BK 010021685
