Starburst amacrine cells exhibit very strange biophysics. Distinct SAC dendrites are selectively activated by visual stimuli moving centrifugally with respect to those distinct dendrites. SAC dendrite-specific direction selectivity is thought to underlie the direction selectivity of on/off direction-selective ganglion cells[1], but the mechanism by which this direction selectivity is generated in SAC dendrites remains unknown.
