Relationships between ganglion cell dendritic structure and retinal topography in the cat

The morphology of ganglion cell dendritic trees varies across the cat retina. Evidence is presented that the variation in two attributes of ganglion cell dendritic structure can be accounted for by specific aspects of the topography of the adult and developing retina.
