Translations:Orientation Selective Ganglion Cell/8/en

The receptive fields of these cells consist of a center, excitatory region surrounded by inhibitory sections. The intracellular electrical responses of the orientation selective ganglion cells were measured when a 95 micrometer wide/6 mm long slit of light was oriented at different angles on the receptive field. The responses recorded from both ON-center and OFF-center orientation selective ganglion cells showed that there was an initial hyperpolarization at light onset regardless of the orientation of the stimulus.
