Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanism of directionally selective units in rabbit's retina.
Horace Barlow,W. R. Levick +1 more
TL;DR: Experiments are described which show, first, that directional selectivity is not due to optical aberrations of some kind and, secondly, that it is not a simple matter of the latency of response varying systematically across the receptive field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinal ganglion cells responding selectively to direction and speed of image motion in the rabbit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in the maintained discharge with adaptation level in the cat retina
Horace Barlow,W. R. Levick +1 more
TL;DR: The mean rate, impulse interval distribution, and pulse number distribution of the maintained discharge of ganglion cells in the retina of the cat have been studied after prolonged adaptation at different luminance levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three factors limiting the reliable detection of light by retinal ganglion cells of the cat
Horace Barlow,W. R. Levick +1 more
TL;DR: Responses of cat retinal ganglion cells have been examined with a view to specifying the characteristics that limit the detection of light stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Threshold setting by the surround of cat retinal ganglion cells.
Horace Barlow,W. R. Levick +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the variable surround functions as a zero‐offset control that sets the threshold excitation required for generating impulses, and that this is separate from gain‐setting adaptive mechanisms.
