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.
