Asymmetric connections with starburst amacrine cells underlie the upward motion selectivity of J-type retinal ganglion cells
Summary:
The paper discusses the role of starburst amacrine cells (SACs) in the direction selectivity of J-type retinal ganglion cells (J-RGCs), highlighting the importance of SACs in retinal direction selectivity and the need to consider noncanonical connections in retinal circuit studies.
Categories
- Eye health: The paper discusses the role of starburst amacrine cells (SACs) in the direction selectivity of J-type retinal ganglion cells (J-RGCs), which is crucial for understanding the functioning of the retina and eye health.
