Figure 5. Direction selective circuits.

Figure 5

Bipolar cell types which have ≥1% overlap with the OFF (A) and ON (B) starburst amacrine cells’ (SAC) total connectivity. C, ganglion cells which receive ≥1% of total connections from the starburst amacrine cells or which have physiological evidence for direction selectivity, in the cases of the JamB and ON DS ganglion cells (Kim et al. 2008; Dhande et al. 2013). The GC 9 is the ON–OFF direction selective ganglion cell, whose connections with starburst amacrine cells have been confirmed by all methods (Wei et al. 2011; Briggman et al. 2011). The GC 6 is hypothesized to be motion or direction sensitive according to the connectome (Helmstaedter et al. 2013). Dotted lines in the inner plexiform layer represent the dendritic stratification of the starburst amacrine cells. The amount of overlap between each pair is normalized by each ganglion cell type's total connectivity.
