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
ON-center and OFF-center receptive fields of cat retinal ganglion cells can be divided into two categories: sensitive (type N) and insensitive (type L) to three statistical temporal visual stimuli with different second order statistics but identical first order statistics (Tsukada et al. 1982). The
We define a morphologic type of ganglion cell in cat retina by using intracellular staining in vitro. The eta cell has a small soma, slender axon, and delicate, highly branched dendritic arbor. Dendritic fields are intermediate in size among cat ganglion cells, with diameters typically two to three
