Supplementary Figure 7: Multi-layered active dendritic integration scheme for the computation of direction selectivity.
From: Direction selectivity is computed by active dendritic integration in retinal ganglion cells
(a) Diagram of a proposed multi-compartmental active dendritic integration scheme, highlighting the presence of three integration areas; terminal dendrites (red), parent dendrites (blue), and axo-somatic (black). (b) Excitatory drive (bipolar cells) of terminal dendritic spike generation in DSGCs in response to light stimuli moving in the preferred-direction ignites the integration cascade. (c) Postsynaptic inhibition of terminal dendritic spike generation by starburst amacrine cells (SBACs) vetoes the integration cascade when light stimuli move in a null-direction.
