Abstract:
:Although color-opponent neurons appear to subserve color vision, precisely how these cells encode hue is still not clear. Single-unit, extracellular recordings from the rainbow trout optic tectum were made in order to examine the possible role of action potential timing in coding chromatic stimuli. We found that color-opponent units can exhibit differences in response latency which are a function of wavelength and response sign, with the OFF response exhibiting the shorter response latency. We also found that units often responded with spike bursts characterized by early and late spikes separated by a silent period, with the relative proportion of early and late spikes varying as a function of wavelength. This type of discharge pattern appears to be a result of inhibitory, color-opponent processes. We suggest that complete inhibition of early spikes may be the mechanism underlying the observed latency differences. These findings suggest a role for action potential patterning in coding chromatic stimuli.
