2-Amino-4-Phosphonobutyric Acid: A New Pharmacological Tool for Retina Research

Slaughter, Malcolm M., Miller, Robert F.·1981·Science

Abstract

Information processing in the vertebrate retina occurs in two separate channels known as ON and OFF channels. When intracellular electrophysiological recordings were obtained from the perfused retina-eyecup preparation of the mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus), the addition of 2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid to the bathing medium blocked all responses in the ON channel but left intact the OFF responses including OFF ganglion cell discharge. 2-Amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid blocks the light response of the ON bipolar cell by mimicking the endogenous photoreceptor transmitter.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
