The time course of adaptation in macaque retinal ganglion cells
The time course of adaptation of cells of the parvocellular (PC) and magnocellular (MC) pathways has been characterized following changes in retinal illuminance or chromaticity. Adaptation state was cycled between high and low luminance levels or between backgrounds with wavelengths metameric to 630 and 570 nm. Cell responsivity was probed with brief bursts of luminance or chromatic modulation....
متن کاملProcessing of natural temporal stimuli by macaque retinal ganglion cells.
This study quantifies the performance of primate retinal ganglion cells in response to natural stimuli. Stimuli were confined to the temporal and chromatic domains and were derived from two contrasting environments, one typically northern European and the other a flower show. The performance of the cells was evaluated by investigating variability of cell responses to repeated stimulus presentat...
متن کاملSpecificity of cone inputs to macaque retinal ganglion cells.
The specificity of cone inputs to ganglion cells has implications for the development of retinal connections and the nature of information transmitted to higher areas of the brain. We introduce a rapid and precise method for measuring signs and magnitudes of cone inputs to visual neurons. Colors of stimuli are modulated around circumferences of three color planes in clockwise and counterclockwi...
متن کاملDecoding visual information from a population of retinal ganglion cells.
Decoding visual information from a population of retinal ganglion cells. J. Neurophysiol. 78: 2336-2350, 1997. This work investigates how a time-dependent visual stimulus is encoded by the collective activity of many retinal ganglion cells. Multiple ganglion cell spike trains were recorded simultaneously from the isolated retina of the tiger salamander using a multielectrode array. The stimulus...
متن کاملEncoding visual information in retinal ganglion cells with prosthetic stimulation.
Retinal prostheses aim to restore functional vision to those blinded by outer retinal diseases using electric stimulation of surviving retinal neurons. The ability to replicate the spatiotemporal pattern of ganglion cell spike trains present under normal viewing conditions is presumably an important factor for restoring high-quality vision. In order to replicate such activity with a retinal pro...
