From Eyewire
Kim et al. proposed that the asymmetry of a JAM-B cell's dendritic arbors is related to this direction selectivity, stating, "across the entire J-RGC population, the degree of direction selectivity was correlated with the degree of asymmetry of the receptive field. It has been found in another study that when probed with a small moving spot, the firing rate of J-RGCs correlated strongly with the direction of motion. The preferred direction of motion corresponds to the direction of the dendritic arbor from the soma"[1] As Kim et al. claim, "within a single molecularly defined class of OFF-RGCs, dendritic structure and cell function are closely linked, suggesting that the latter arises from the former."
