What is the neurotransmitter that is released from photoreceptors onto bipolar neurons? Distinguish between light-on (ON bipolar cells) and light-off (OFF bipolar cells), and explain how one signal molecule can have opposing effects on these two cell populations. What is the organization of a visual field? What are the 2 types of ganglion visual fields?

With respect to the three structural types of neurons (unipolar, bipolar & multipolar): State which parts of each type of neuron receive information, which parts integrate information, and which parts conduct the output signal of the neuron. Describe the location of the cell bodies of each type of neuron within the nervous system.
How is the relationship between photoreceptors and bipolar cells different from other sensory receptors and adjacent cells?
