Hypothesis relating the blue-sensitive cone mechanism to surround excitation of primate retinal off-centre neurones.
Based on recent findings concerning the morphological peculiarities of blue-sensitive retinal neurones, their adaptive behaviour, their response characteristics and their contribution to visual perception, it will be argued that the excitatory signals of blue-sensitive neurones are transmitted via surround mechanisms of receptive fields.
