    Dendritic Computation of Direction in Retinal Neurons

    The retina utilizes a variety of dendritic mechanisms to compute direction from image motion. The computation is accomplished by starburst amacrine cells (SBACs) which are GABAergic neurons presynaptic to dire...

    Synaptic Mechanisms Underlying Direction Selectivity in Rabbit Retinal Ganglion Cells

    In the vertebrate visual system, direction-selective signals are first encountered within the direction-selective ganglion cells (DSGCs) in the retina. The On-Off DSGCs have been most intensively studied, and ...
