| Front | What are the three main groups of retinal ganglion cells? |
|---|---|
| Back | ● Tonic cells stimulated by L or M cones ○ Project to the parvocellular layer of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) ○ Important in high resolution and color vision ● Tonic cells stimulated by S cones ○ Designed to detect successive color contrast ○ Excited by short waves entering and long waves leaving their receptive fields ● Phasic cells ○ Larger, less concentrated in the govea ○ Project to the magnocellular layer of the LGN ○ Important for the detection of movement |
