title: Effect of target position and size on adaptive sensitivity of the surround mechanism of cat retinal ganglion cells.
abstract: The spatial distribution of the surround's adaptive sensitivity was assessed in the receptive fields of cat retinal ganglion cells. The results provide evidence that the surrounds adaptive sensitivity is higher in the center of the receptive field of Y-cells than X-cells.
