abstractText | Bipolar cells are the second-order neurons in the retina that are less accessible for investigating their synaptic responses. Here, we present a protocol to conduct patch clamp recordings from bipolar cells in the wholemount retina from Ai32 mutant mice. We detail whole-cell patch-clamp recording from bipolar cells to examine their light-evoked responses to optogenetic stimulation, followed by imaging terminals of recorded cells to determine bipolar cell type. We describe light stimulus information to activate channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2). For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Hellmer et al. (2021). |
