title: Two types of cat retinal ganglion cells that are suppressed by contrast.
abstract: Despite some controversy in the literature, all available evidence indicates that cat retinal ganglion cells whose firing is suppressed by contrast are of two distinct types. The two types differ principally in whether they are suppressed tonically or transiently by contrast in the receptive field.
