Abstract
Two-photon imaging of light stimulus-evoked neuronal activity has been used to study all neuron classes in the vertebrate retina, from the photoreceptors to the retinal ganglion cells. Clearly, the ability to study retinal circuits down to the level of single synapses or zoomed out at the level of complete populations of neurons, has been a major asset in our understanding of this beautiful circuit. In this chapter, we discuss the possibilities and pitfalls of using an all-optical approach in this highly light-sensitive part of the brain.

Comment:
Just a small point, p12 line 20 "as in vertebrates, the visual pigment is mainly regenerated in the PE [63]and, therefore, the continuous supply with restored visual pigment is ensured also in vitro". Visual pigment is an opsin protein bound with chromophore. What genereated in the pigment epithelium is 11-cis reitnal but not visual pigment itself. So it would be like "regenerated by the function of PE", "continuous supply with restored (11-cis-)chromophore".
