title: Retinal ganglion cells: properties, types, genera, pathways and trans-species comparisons.
abstract: This article attempts to develop an empirical foundation for the notion of 'cell type', and to use this notion to clarify the issues involved in the classification, pathways, and trans-species comparisons of retinal ganglion cells.
