Abstract

Summary

This paper discusses the discovery of a previously unrecognized intrinsic property of OFF retinal pathways that generates responses to light onset, and proposes that a major function of the signaling of the ON pathway to the OFF pathway is suppression of these mistimed, and therefore inappropriate, light-evoked responses.
