sensitive cones
New signals are created already at retinal level Receptor cells produce
analogue potential difference for excitation
At output (ganglion cell) level fireing frequency signal is produced
Antagonistic colour channels and the brightness/lightiness channel
ON and OFF signals The ON centre
bipolar cell is activated by the cone signal
The OFF centre cell gets activated as the light
decreases. Differences in
the ganglion cell fireing rate
Receptive fields, functional diagram
Receptive fields
Neural signal generation H1 &H2: horizontal cells,
participate in the antagonistic signal processing
B: bipolar cells, participate in the centre/surrounding antagonistic process (ON and OFF cells)
G: ganglion cells MC: magnocellular (ON and
OFF cells) PC: parvocellular (2 ON and
OFF cells) KC: koniocellular (2 ON cells)

Brightness – luminance
L+M signals: luminance like All three cones participate in brightness
perception Possible rod contribution to brightness Intrinsically photosensitive Retinal Ganglion
Cells might contribute too by pupil diameter regulation
Rod vision -> scotopic and peripheral vision
Mesopic vision: interaction between rod and cone receptors
