Spatial distribution of signal and adaptive sensitivity in the receptive field surrounds of cat retinal ganglion cells.
A comparison was made between adaptive and signal sensitivity profiles of the surround response mechanism of cat retinal ganglion cells. The 2 profiles were found to be similar for X cells but the surrounds of Y cells appear to pool adaptation over a smaller retinal region than they pool signals.
