Receptive field organization of bipolar and amacrine cells in the goldfish retina

1. Intracellular recordings were made from bipolar and amacrine cells in the isolated goldfish retina. Cells were identified mainly from their response patterns to a spot and an annulus in reference to the knowledge obtained from the previous work of intracellular Procion Yellow injection. Using white light and monochromatic lights receptive field organization of recorded cells were analysed.
