✦ Synopsis

The classification of concentrically organized receptive fields of rabbit retinal ganglion cells was extended along similar lines to that in the cat by distinguishing brisk and sluggish classes and then sustained and transient types of each. Quantitative measures of responsiveness to stationary and to moving stimuli revealed characteristic features which distinguished these classes. Brisk-transient and brisk-sustained classes are not as distinct from each other as in the cat: centre size distributions overlapped almost completely and there was also substantial overlap of axonal conduction properties whether expressed in terms of latency or conduction velocity between two central stimulus sites. Representatives of every class of rabbit ganglion cells sent axons to the superior colliculus.

## Abstract Autophagy has been shown to be activated in neuronal cells in response to injury and suggested to have a cell‐protective role in neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we investigated the activation of autophagy in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) following optic nerve transection (ONT
