Concepts and Challenges in Retinal Biology (Progress in Brain Research)

Rating:
Summary: A decent update on retinal research
Review: This is a collection of review articles written by some of the leaders of retinal research. These articles are helpful mainly to vision scientists. While it touches on diverse topiocs, it is NOT a comprehensive overview of the state of the art, as it only covers the work that's recently done in the labs of the ~50 authors. Therefore, if you need a general introduction to retinal biology, get Rodieck's "The First Steps of Seeing" or Dowling's "The Retina" instead.
