  • Title: Directional units in the rat optic nerve.
    Author: Hughes A.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1980 Nov 24; 202(1):196-200. PubMed ID: 7427735.
    Abstract:
    Single units with directional receptive fields were recorded from the rat optic nerve and thus revealed, in contrast to earlier reports, the presence of at least one class of non-concentric retinal unit in this species. In confirmation of prior work, examples of concentric, surround-dominated and centre-dominated receptive fields were also encountered. In some respects their properties resembled those of either brisk or sluggish classes in the cat retina.
