The following graph shows that light is projected to the surround of an off-center ganglion cell's receptive field. Propose a possible explanation on why the light caused depolarization of the off-center ganglion cell? Please explain the changes in membrane potential and in neurotransmitter release for each neuron involved.

1. An OFF-center RG cell initially with no light on its receptive field has a plane of light move into part of its "surround" receptive field region. What happens to its firing rate? Optional Answers: 1. produces a modest increase in firing 2. produces no significant change in firing 3. produces a large increase in firing 4. it shuts off 2. A P-type retinal ganglion cell will typically have ___ receptive fields and will generate ___ responses when responding to light on in the center of its receptive field. Optional Answers: 1. small....sustained 2. large....sustained 3. small....transient 4. large....transient 3. When viewing a black/white grid, an ON-center retinal ganglion cell (RGC) that has its receptive field entirely within the retinal patch of a white square will be MORE STRONGLY ACTIVATED than an RGC on a retinal patch that spans the border a white and dar Optional Answers: 1. True 2. False

Identify the receptive fields of each ganglion cell below as on-center/off-surround or off-center/on- surround based on how the light (shown in yellow) affects the action potentials in the cell (A-C)
