In a previous study by Caldwell, the antagonists picrotoxin and strychnine were introduced to orientation selective ganglion cells. Picrotoxin is a GABA antagonist and strychnine is a glycine antagonist; both are antagonists of inhibitory neurotransmitters. When picrotoxin was introduced to the OSGCs, the cells responded in the same way to a strip of light oriented at the preferred and null directions. With strychnine, the orientation selectivity decreased slightly.[1]
