Excited to see the OpenRetina project out! 🚀 A collaborative framework for training, benchmarking, and interpreting retinal neural network models across datasets and species. If you work in computational neuroscience, vision, or ML, check it out. We'd love to see the community use and extend it. 👁️🤖

The state of our brain shapes what we see. @dgonschorek.bsky.social & @teuler.bsky.social explore a @plosbiology.org study showing that #brain state-dependent release of #histamine modulates the very first stage of #vision – the #retina 🧪 Paper: plos.io/49K0Qv8 Primer: plos.io/3LupFkL
 Histamine modulates early visual processing in awake mice. Top left: Visual responses were recorded in awake, head-fixed mice using single-unit extracellular recordings from retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons in the optic tract and from dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) neurons, while pupil dynamics and locomotion were monitored. Top right: Tripodi and Asari manipulated histaminergic input to the retina by chemogenetic activation of hypothalamic tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN) neurons or by systemic pharmacology targeting histamine receptors. H3 receptor antagonists increase histamine release, whereas H1 receptor antagonists block postsynaptic histamine effects. Bottom left: Increasing histamine levels, either chemogenetically or pharmacologically, slowed and weakened visual responses in both RGC axons and dLGN neurons, whereas blocking H1 receptors had the opposite effect, consistent with H1 receptor-mediated gain modulation. Bottom right: Ethological implication: in nocturnal mice, histamine levels are low during daytime, when the animals rest, enabling faster and stronger retinal responses and potentially facilitating rapid detection of threats. At nighttime, when the animals are active, high histamine levels suppress and slow visual responses. Partly created with biorender.com.
