At maturity, ON and OFF ␣ ganglion cells in the cat retina are arrayed in regular mosaics, with adjacent cells commonly forming ON-OFF pairs. In the present study, we investigated the role of activity-mediated ganglion cell death in the formation of such cellular patterns. Because direct measures of
Anatomical and physiological segregation of neurons into ON (brightening detector) and OFF (darkening detector) channels in the retina and subsequent visual system ensure the high sensitivity required for contrast detection and spatial discrimination. This segregation 9 is finest at the visual axis.
