[Discrimination of the direction of the E-vector of linearly polarized light by the goldfish retina].
Responses of the goldfish ganglion cells to flashes of linear-polarized light with different positions of the E-vector divided them into on-, off, and on--off types. Change in the E-vector position changed the responses of all three types of the ganglion cells. These ganglion cells register the E-vector position with different degrees of accuracy. Analysis of the responses revealed that the information on the polarization plane position is encoded by the number of spikes of the ganglion cells discharges.
