Fig. 8: Locations and potential functions of chromatically nonlinear cells.
From: Linear and nonlinear chromatic integration in the mouse retina
a Image of a sample retina with ganglion cell receptive fields (ellipses corresponding to the 1.5-σ contour of a fitted Gaussian with color indicating the UV-green index) and chromatic-integration curves for some of the cells. The labels identify the cells as linear (L…), nonlinear (N…), or UV-selective (U…) and mark the position of the receptive field on the retina. Shaded regions around the curves show mean ± SEM. b Distances of receptive field centers to the midline for the retina shown in a. c Distribution of receptive field distances from the midline for chromatically nonlinear, linear, and UV-selective cells over all analyzed retinas. Note that the prevalence of UV-selective cells in the ventral retina is by methodological design, as these cells were used to identify the ventral side, and the corresponding distribution is shown here only for comparison.
