Form and function of cat retinal ganglion cells

Recent explorations of the morphology of retinal neurones, combined with neurophysiological recordings have made it possible to link specific anatomical types with particular physiological classes. At the same time, the relatively complete anatomical mapping of the retina has revealed some bias in the sampling of neurones by electrophysiological techniques.
