  • Description: In the sensory system, many neurons are specified to detect different environmental signals and transfer the signals to downstream neurons. These downstream neurons integrate the detected signals and generate an output that is evolutionary relevant for the organism. In the retina, the photoreceptors are specified to detect light from the environment at different wavelength, thus separating the input light into different chromatic channels. The chromatic signals from the photoreceptors are integrated by downstream bipolar and ganglion cells. Although chromatic properties of the photoreceptor...
