Modulation of Retinal Ganglion Cell Function and Implications for Neuroprotection

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a neuromodulator in central nervous system (CNS) that can exert neuroprotective effects. NPY is expressed in mammalian retina but the location and potential modulatory effects of NPY receptor activation remains largely unknown. Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death is a hallmark...
