The generation of directionally selective responses in the retina

Stuart C. Mangel

Department of Neurobiology, University of Alabama School of Medicine, Birmingham, AL 35294, USA

Although the phenomenon of directional selectivity has been of great interest to sensory physiologists for more than three decades, the cellular mechanisms that underlie it are still unknown. Directionally selective (DS) neurons, which have been described in the retina, in various cortical areas and in the peripheral nervous system, respond well to stimulus motion in one (preferred) direction, but respond little or not at all to motion in the opposite (null) direction.
