Fig. 7: Grating pattern reversal with a fixed bar width.
a Sketch of the grating pattern reversal with a fixed bar width. A grating pattern with black and green 120-µm wide vertical bars (560 nm, 10 ms, 0.9 mW mm−2) was projected onto the array with a 5-Hz illumination rate for 3 s and reverted every five pulses. b Raw electrophysiological recordings of three RGCs under grating pattern reversal with a fixed bar width. The green triangles correspond to the onset of each light pulse. The first pattern and the reversals are highlighted by the grey dashed lines. The red arrows highlight ML activity. c Quantification of the ML firing rate (mean ± s.e.m.) under grating pattern reversal with 120-µm bar width (n = 26 RGCs). The cyan dashed lines are the average desensitised ML firing rates and the red dashed lines are the recovery thresholds. The grey dashed line is the average resting firing rate with its s.d. represented by the grey area.
