Functional Characterization of Parasols and Midgets
• What is the relationship between receptive field (RF) and dendritic field (DF)?
• How does coverage of parasols and midgets differ?
• Are the ON-OFF asymmetries of parasols also found in midgets?

Multielectrode Array Recording
Ganglion cell spikes are recorded with an array of 512 extracellular electrodes.
Array designed and built by Alan Litke’s group, UC-Santa Cruz.

Functional Characterization of Parasols and Midgets
Are the ON-OFF asymmetries of parasols also found in midgets?
What is the relationship between RF and DF?
How does the coverage of parasol and midget RFs differ?
![Page 11: Receptive Field Mosaics of Parasol and Midget Ganglion Cells in the Primate Retina](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081421/56813c3d550346895da5bb67/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Parasols have more DF overlap than midgets
Parasol Dendritescoverage of ~3-4
Midget Dendritescoverage of 1
Does DF coverage predict RF coverage? Is RF coverage different for parasols and midgets?

Parasol and midget RFs seem to have the same coverage

Interpretation
By what mechanism are parasol RFs relatively shrunk?– More inhibition on parasol’s peripheral dendrites (Grunert 1999).– Bipolars feeding parasols pool from relatively smaller area.– More attenuation of distal inputs?

Interpretation
Higher parasol DF coverage and shrunken RF perfectly compensate to give same coverage as midget, suggesting this coverage factor is the “aim” of development.

Interpretation
Similarity of ON and OFF asymmetries for parasol and midgets suggest they arise prior to ganglion cell processing

Functional Characterization of Parasols and Midgets
• Parasol dendrites have much more overlap than midget dendrites. Does dendritic field (DF) overlap predict receptive field (RF) overlap?
• What is the relationship between RF and DF size in parasols? Is it the same for midgets?
• Parasols have ON-OFF asymmetries: ON-parasols are larger and faster and OFF-parasols. Do the same asymmetries hold for ON- and OFF-midgets?

Conclusions
• Relationship between RF and DF is different for parasols and midgets
• Parasols and midgets have same RF coverage • Parasols and midgets have same ON-OFF asymmetries
