Translations:Orientation Selective Ganglion Cell/26/en

OFF-center orientation selective ganglion cells have cell bodies that are shaped like ellipsoids and have two main dendrites extending from either side of the cell body. The dendrites of OFF-center orientation selective ganglion cells are wavy in appearance, as well, and are longer than the ON-center cell dendrites. The dendrites of OFF-center orientation ganglion cells were found to extend approximately 283 micrometers along the axis of preferred orientation. The dendrites of both types of orientation selective ganglion cells are bistratified. The extent of the dendrites of orientation selective ganglion cells has been found to be closely related to the size of the receptive field centers of OSGCs ; however a clear elongation of the dendrites along the preferred axis has not been observed.
