The mammalian retina consists of neurons of> 60 distinct types, each playing a specific role
in processing visual images. They are arranged in three main stages. The first decomposes …

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) were one of the first classes of sensory neurons to be
described in terms of a receptive field (RF). Over the last six decades, our understanding of …

Comprehensive high-resolution structural maps are central to functional exploration and
understanding in biology. For the nervous system, in which high resolution and large spatial …

The eye sends information about the visual world to the brain on over 20 parallel signal
pathways, each specialized to signal features such as spectral reflection (color), edges, and …

Decades of research have focused on the circuit connectivity between retinal neurons, but
only a handful of amacrine cells have been described functionally and placed in the context …

Functional analyses exist only for a few of the morphologically described primate ganglion
cell types, and their correlates in other mammalian species remain elusive. Here, we …

In the vertebrate retina, the location of a neuron's receptive field in visual space closely
corresponds to the physical location of synaptic input onto its dendrites, a relationship called …

The koniocellular (K) layers of the primate dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus house a variety
of visual receptive field types, not all of which have been fully characterized. Here we made …

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) relay~ 40 parallel and independent streams of visual
information, each encoding a specific feature of a visual scene, to the brain for further …

Two types of mammalian direction-selective ganglion cells (DSGCs), ON and ONOFF,
operate over different speed ranges. The directional axes of the ON-DSGCs are thought to …
