ON centre receptive fields (RFs) in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) differ from OFF centre RFs in that:

Question

Answer

ON centre RFs are produced by the direct and indirect pathways for information flow but OFF centre RFs only by the indirect pathway.

Answer

only ON centre RFs have antagonistic surrounds.

Answer

light in the RF centre excites RGCs with OFF centre RFs but inhibits RGCs with ON centre RFs.

Answer

ON centre RFs are produced by cone inputs while OFF centre RFs are produced by rod inputs.

Answer

light in the RF centre excites RGCs with ON centre RFs but not RGCs with OFF centre RFs.
