035 On Center, Off Surround Ganglion Cells

In this episode, Leslie Samuel explains the concept of on-center off-surround ganglion cells. The video covers how rods connect to ganglion cells via bipolar and horizontal cells, forming the center and surround of the receptive field. The on-center response results in depolarization and nerve impulses, while the off-surround response leads to hyperpolarization and post-inhibitory rebound. The video also briefly mentions off-center on-surround ganglion cells, which exhibit opposite responses.
