Visual resolution and receptive field size: examination of two kinds of cat retinal ganglion cell

BG Cleland, TH Harding, and U Tulunay-Keesey

Intraocular recordings from brisk-sustained and brisk-transient ganglion cells in the cat's retina revealed a systematic increase in center size and decrease in spatial cut-off frequency with increasing distance from the area centralis. At any one eccentricity sizes of the centers of sustained and transient cells did not overlap, and the variation in cut-off frequency for each class was constrained to about one-half octave.
