The paper demonstrates that lactate produced by rod photoreceptors supports cone photoreceptor function and viability through a rod-to-cone lactate shuttle, suggesting new therapeutic avenues for retinal diseases.

The paper shows that odorant identity is encoded through nonlinear interactions in the olfactory system of rainbow trout, as revealed by information-theoretic metrics in LFPs.

This study shows that retinal bipolar cells use extracellular lactate as an alternative energy source via MCT2 transporters, maintaining ion and electrical homeostasis.
