Distribution of ON- and OFF-cells within the rat dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus.
Neurons responding to light flashes with a primary suppression of activity (OFF-like cells), and those responding with excitation (ON-like) differ significantly in their localization within the rat's dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN). ON-cells are aggregated in the dorsolateral part, OFF-cells predominantly in the ventromedial part.
