Lateral feedback from monophasic horizontal cells to cones in carp retina. II. A quantitative model

J Gen Physiol. 1989 Apr;93(4):695-714. doi: 10.1085/jgp.93.4.695.

Abstract

About half of the monophasic horizontal cells in carp retina receive input from both red- and green-sensitive cones. Since the horizontal cells feed back to cones, the color and feedback pathways result in wavelength- and intensity-dependent changes of the dynamics and of the receptive field amplitude profile of the horizontal cell responses. In this paper we present a quantitative model that describes adequately the color and spatial coding and the dynamics of the responses from monophasic horizontal cells in carp. Lateral feedback plays a distinct role in this model.
