Translations:Orientation Selective Ganglion Cell/9/en
From Eyewire
ON-center orientation selective ganglion cells have a preferred orientation that results in an initial hyperpolarization followed by a large depolarization and increased spiking when a slit of light is introduced to the receptive field of the cell. As the orientation of the slit was moved away from the preferred orientation, the initial hyperpolarization remained the same, while the depolarization decreased. At 90 degrees from the preferred orientation there was an initial hyperpolarization followed by sustained hyperpolarization.
