The morphological types of ganglion cells of the domestic cat's retina

1. Three distinct morphological types of cat retinal ganglion cells have been identified and categorized as α, β and γ. Alpha ganglion cells have dendritic field diameters from 180 to 1000 μm; β, about 25 to 300 μm; γ, 180 to 800 μm, possibly more.
