Abstract	Dopamine is the main catecholamine found in the retina of most species, being synthesized from the L-amino acid tyrosine. Its effects are mediated by G protein coupled receptors subfamilies that are commonly coupled to adenylyl cyclase in opposite manners. There is evidence that this amine works as a developmental signal in the embryonic retina and several distinct roles have been attributed to dopamine in the retina such as proliferation, synaptogenesis, neuroprotection, increased signal transmission in cone, gap junction modulation, neuronal-pigmented epithelium-glial communication, and neuron-glia interaction. Here we describe methods that have been used in the study of the dopaminergic function in the retina in the last 40 years. We emphasize the approaches used in the studies on the development of the avian and rodent retina. The dopaminergic system is one of the first phenotypes to appear in the developing vertebrate retina.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 November 2014.

All research outputs

#20,245,139

of 22,772,779 outputs

Outputs from Methods in molecular biology

#9,863

of 13,090 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#248,961

of 280,940 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology

#298

of 340 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 22,772,779 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.

So far Altmetric has tracked 13,090 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.

Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 280,940 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.

We're also able to compare this research output to 340 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
