Abstract

The spatial organization of the input to retinal ganglion cells and that of the hypothetical “aptation pool” which controls the on-centre input of the ganglion cell are different. The adaptation pool has a uniform receptive field, which is larger than the on-centre but summation of adaptive effects occurs only within the on-centre area if tested with concentric adapting discs. No lateral inhibition of adaptive effects is seen as described in psychophysical experiments.
