## Abstract The central projections of different groups of cat retinal ganglion cells were studied following small iontophoretic injections of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into physiologically characterized sites. Analysis was restricted to labeled cells in the upper periphery of the nasal retina,
Receptive field organization of 135 sustained and 45 transient retinal ganglion cells was investigated in lightly pentobarbitone-anaesthetised cats. Stimuli were concentric annuli presented alone or simultaneously with a small spot centred on the receptive field, against photopic, mesopic or scotopi
During development, mammalian retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) go through marked ontogenetic changes with respect to their excitable membrane properties. Voltage-clamp studies conducted in our laboratory have shown that the amplitude, voltage-dependence and kinetics of activation and inactivation (wher
