ONRetinal ganglion cells also have center-surround receptive fieldsHow would an OFF center ganglion cell respond to edges?Color-opponent ganglion cells•Red-Green•Blue-YellowSummary•Bipolar cells:–Either ON or OFF cells–Have center-surround receptive fields•Surround always responds the opposite way as the center–Have graded electrical responses•Ganglion cells:–Either ON or OFF cells–Have center-surround receptive fields•Surround always responds the opposite way as the center–Produce action
