Journal ArticleDOI
Neural Mechanisms Mediating Motion Sensitivity in Parasol Ganglion Cells of the Primate Retina
TL;DR: It is reported that parasol, but not midget, ganglion cells are motion sensitive and this findings indicate that motion computations arise far earlier in the primate visual stream than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Color Vision Circuit for Non-Image-Forming Vision in the Primate Retina
TL;DR: Identification of the S-cone amacrine cell provides the missing component of an evolutionarily ancient circuit using spectral information for non-image forming visual functions in ipRGCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconciling Color Vision Models With Midget Ganglion Cell Receptive Fields.
TL;DR: The progress in developing models of color-coding receptive fields that are consistent with human psychophysics, the biology of the primate visual system and the response properties of midget RGCs are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
An S-cone circuit for edge detection in the primate retina
Sara S. Patterson,James A. Kuchenbecker,James R. Anderson,Andrea S. Bordt,David W. Marshak,Maureen Neitz,Jay Neitz +6 more
TL;DR: While spectral opponency in a primate RGC is classically assumed to contribute to hue perception, a role supporting edge detection is more consistent with the S-OFF midget RGC receptive field structure and studies of hue perception.
Journal ArticleDOI
Another Blue-ON ganglion cell in the primate retina.
Sara S. Patterson,Sara S. Patterson,Marcus Mazzaferri,Andrea S. Bordt,Jolie Chang,Maureen Neitz,Jay Neitz +6 more
TL;DR: A new wide-field RGC type is discovered receiving the same cone-opponent input as the small bistratified RGC, indicating that there is more redundancy in the retinal color code than previously appreciated.
