Hi guys,
So I understand that when the photoreceptor becomes hyperpolarized and inhibited by light, the ON-bipolar cell becomes depolarized and the OFF-bipolar cell becomes hyperpolarized and inhibited.
I also understand that the photoreceptor is depolarized (activated) in the absence of light, the ON bipolar cell becomes hyperpolarized and the OFF-bipolar cell becomes depolarized and activated.
What exactly is the difference between ON and OFF bipolar cells in terms of the surrounding field and the center of the field?
