In wild - type, retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner nuclear layer (INL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), and nuclear layers of rod and cone photoreceptors are distinct, and rod outer segment (OS) is observed at the outer-most layer of the retina. (oist.jp)
So, with that in mind, with this new understanding of fundamental biology, the group went back into the engineering side and said well, what can we do to image «off» retinal ganglion cell layers of the inner plexiform layer, and also to design a new visual field exam that could measure the «off» retinal ganglion cells separately from the «on» retinal ganglion cells?

Current projects include modeling the biophysical mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity and learning in dendritic trees, the dynamics of neuronal networks in the outer plexiform layer of the retina, and modeling the integration of multiple synaptic inputs in muscle fiber. (sciencemag.org)
