Muller glial cells
ensheath all retinal
neurons in vertebrate
retinae. There are a
multitude of functional
interactions between
neurons and Muller cells,
including delivery of
the light stimuli to the
photoreceptor cells in
the inverted vertebrate
retina, a 'metabolic
symbiosis' with the
neurons, and the
processing of visual
information.

Automatic processing is
effortless, fast and
fairly error-free.
Controlled processing is
effortful, slow and
prone to errors but - at
the same time, flexible
and useful to deal with
new tasks. This book
presents a theoretical
overview on automatic and
controlled processes.
