Translations:Orientation Selective Ganglion Cell/25/en

Side-view of ON-center orientation selective ganglion cell to the left and side-view of OFF-center orientation selective ganglion cell to the right.

Dendritic Arbors

ON-center orientation selective ganglion cells have asymmetric dendritic arbors and have a wavy appearance. The dendrites of ON-center orientation selective ganglion cells are not elongated in a particular direction that corresponds to their preferred orientation (horizontal or vertical). The dendrites of ON-center orientation ganglion cells were found to extend approximately 163 micrometers along the axis of preferred orientation.
