Document Summary

Centre receptive field: vertical integration: 1 photoreceptor, 2 bipolar cells, 2 ganglion cells, photoreceptor is in depolarized state. Gmp, hyperpolarizes, reduces nt to bipolar cells: off-centre bipolar cell: photoreceptor excites this, less nt going through less excited, off-centre bipolar cell: photoreceptor inhibits this, less nt going through more excited, both ganglion cells are excitatory. Cones and colour vision: short cones: absorb shortest wavelength, blue cones, medium cones: green cones. If you look at the curve of any one cone by itself, it tells you nothing about colour: we must see how colour gets extracted by combination of cones. Colour opponent neurons red center, green surround: yellow center (red green combo), blue surround, yellow and blue compete center surround just like before, but now with colour red and green compete. Magnocellular pathway: retinal ganglion cells with large cell bodies. Usually have extensions to large diameter axons, which conduct at high speed.
