PMID-21273316 Physiological clustering of visual channels in the mouse retina
- Anatomy predicts that mammalian retinas should have in excess of 12 physiological channels, each encoding a specific aspect of the visual scene.
- Although several channels have been correlated with morphological cell types, the number of morphological types generally exceeds the known physiological types.
- Here, we attempted to sort the ganglion cells of the mouse retina purely on a physiological basis.
- Result: The optimal partition was the 12-cluster solution of the Fuzzy Gustafson-Kessel algorithm.
- This might be useful elsewhere ...
- Farrow Lab is responsible for the 11,011 electrode array.
