Summary
This paper discusses the role of Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 1 (VGLUT1) in transmitting visual signals from photoreceptors to second- and third-order neurons, and how its absence affects visual functions.

Eye health: The paper discusses the role of VGLUT1 in transmitting visual signals from photoreceptors to neurons, and how its absence affects visual functions.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how the absence of VGLUT1 affects visual functions, which could indirectly affect cognitive function and memory.
