Frequency Responses of Rat Retinal Ganglion Cells
There are 15-20 different types of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) in the mammalian retina, each encoding different aspects of the visual scene. The mechanism by which post-synaptic signals from the retinal network generate spikes is determined by each cell's intrinsic electrical properties. Here we investigate the frequency responses of morphologically identified rat RGCs using intracellular inje...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal frequency responses of cat retinal ganglion cells
Spatiotemporal frequency responses were measured at different levels of light adaptation for cat X and Y retinal ganglion cells. Stationary sinusoidal luminance gratings whose contrast was modulated sinusoidally in time or drifting gratings were used as stimuli. Under photopic illumination, when the spatial frequency was held constant at or above its optimum value, an X cell's responsivity was ...
متن کاملVariability in responses of retinal ganglion cells.
Changes in the maintained discharge of retinal ganglion cells have been modeled by addition of noise to a rate-setting signal, whereas the responses of cortical cells have been reported to indicate a nonlinear relationship between noise and signal. To determine whether this represents a difference between retinal cells and cortical cells, the variance of light-evoked responses of ganglion cells...
متن کاملSpontaneous release of acetylcholine affects the physiological nicotinic responses of rat retinal ganglion cells in culture.
Nictonic cholinergic responses have been previously documented in mammalian retinal ganglion cells. In the present study, dissociated retinal cells were densely plated and grown in a specific batch of rat serum. When held at negative potentials during whole-cell recording with a patch electrode, the retinal ganglion cells located close to presumptive cholinergic amacrine cells in these cultures...
متن کاملThe mechanism of peripherally evoked responses in retinal ganglion cells.
1. Responses to stimulation of retinal regions remote from the classical receptive field were recorded from optic tract fibres in lightly anaesthetized cats. 2. X- and Y-cells gave reliably different responses to the sudden reversal of the phase of a high contrast grating that fell on the retina more than 15 deg from the centre of the receptive field. 3. The mechanism that generates these respo...
