Ganglion Cell

The retinal ganglion cells are the first (or at least the most obvious) spiking cells in the retina. They send the retina's information to the brain.

Our model ganglion cells are instances of simple integrate and fire neurons. There are two types--on and off--as for the bipolar cells. They are driven directly from a single bipolar cell , either on or off type.

The ganglion cells are the earliest cells you can hear in the simulation because they are the first spiking cells we modeled.
