Description for The Retinal Muller Cell. Structure and Function.
Hardback. Examines the role of the Muller cell, the main glial element of the retina, in the development, organization, and function of the vertebrate retina. These cells may also play a role in the control of eye growth and in determining the processing of information by surrounding neurons. Series: Perspectives in Vision Research. Num Pages: 292 pages, 92 black & white illustrations, 1 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: MFGG; MJN; MJQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 245 x 174 x 26. Weight in Grams: 648.
The human brain contains more than a billion neurons which interconnect to form networks that process, store, and recall sensory information. These neuronal activities are supported by a group of accessory brain cells coll- tively known as neuroglia. Surprisingly, glial cells are ten times more - merous than neurons, and occupy more than half the brain volume (Hydén, 1961). Although long considered a passive, albeit necessary, component of the nervous system, many interesting and unusual functional properties of glial cells are only now being brought to light. As a result, the status of these cellular elements is approaching parity with ... Read more
