Properties of ganglion cells in the visual streak of the cat's retina.
The properties of ganglion cells in the visual streak of the cat's retina have been investigated. Evidence is presented that the streak is formed principally, but not entirely, by a concentration of small-bodied ganglion cells with the receptive field properties and slow-conducting axons typical of W-cells.
