    Maximizing contrast resolution in the outer retina of mammals

    The outer retina removes the first-order correlation, the background light level, and thus more efficiently transmits contrast. This removal is accomplished by negative feedback from horizontal cell to photore...

    Direction selectivity in the retina: symmetry and asymmetry in structure and function

  3. Direction-selective retinal ganglions cells (DSGCs) consist of several distinct types that branch at different levels in the inner retina. Most types are compr...

    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...
