Retinal bipolar cells: elementary building blocks of vision
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 06:58 authored by Thomas Euler, Silke Haverkamp, Timm Schubert, Thomas BadenThomas BadenRetinal bipolar cells are the first 'projection neurons' of the vertebrate visual system — all of the information needed for vision is relayed by this intraretinal connection. Each of the at least 13 distinct types of bipolar cells systematically transforms the photoreceptor input in a different way, thereby generating specific channels that encode stimulus properties, such as polarity, contrast, temporal profile and chromatic composition. As a result, bipolar cell output signals represent elementary 'building blocks' from which the microcircuits of the inner retina derive a feature-oriented description of the visual world.
