Correlated firing in rabbit retinal ganglion cells.
A ganglion cell's receptive field is defined as that region on the retinal surface in which a light stimulus will produce a response. While neighboring ganglion cells may respond to the same stimulus in a region where their receptive fields overlap, it generally has been assumed that each cell makes an independent decision about whether to fire. Recent recordings from cat and salamander retina ...
متن کاملDirectionally Selective Rabbit Retinal Ganglion Cells
35 The ganglion cell output of the retina constitutes a bottleneck in sensory processing, in that 36 ganglion cells must encode multiple stimulus parameters in their responses. Here we investigate 37 encoding strategies of On-Off directionally selective retinal ganglion cells (On-Off DS RGCs) in 38 rabbits, a class of cells dedicated to representing motion. The exquisite axial discrimination of...
متن کاملMorphologies of rabbit retinal ganglion cells with complex receptive fields.
Ganglion cells that had complex receptive field properties, namely, On-Off and On direction-selective cells, orientation-selective cells, local edge detectors, and uniformity detectors (suppressed by contrast cells) were recorded in an isolated superfused rabbit eyecup preparation. Cells were first classified by their characteristic extracellular responses to manually controlled stimuli similar...
متن کاملAxonal transport of actin in rabbit retinal ganglion cells
We labeled proteins in the cell bodies of rabbit retinal ganglion cells with [35S]methionine and subsequently observed the appearance of radioactive actin in tissues containing the axons and synaptic terminals of these neurons, i.e., the optic nerve (ON), optic tract (OT), lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and the superior colliculus (SC). The temporal sequence of appearance of labeled actin (wh...
متن کاملDirect activation and temporal response properties of rabbit retinal ganglion cells following subretinal stimulation.
In the last decade several groups have been developing vision prostheses to restore visual perception to the profoundly blind. Despite some promising results from human trials, further understanding of the neural mechanisms involved is crucial for improving the efficacy of these devices. One of the techniques involves placing stimulating electrodes in the subretinal space between the photorecep...
