As illustrated in the accompanying figure, light enters the retina through the photoreceptors, and excitatory inputs are transmitted to the ON/OFF DSGCs via Glutamate and Acetylcholine from the bipolar and starburst amacrine cells. Inhibitory GABA inputs, which are crucial for suppressing information in the null direction (and thereby creating a direction-selective motion detector) are received from SACs. The motion detection result is fed to higher parts of the brain for further processing.
