| intermediate-conducting retinal ganglion cell | Fukuda-physiological (F-physio) | Further support for the three-group classification of ganglion cells was gained by physiological measurements of conduction velocities of ganglion cell axons. By recording axonal or cellular discharges in the retina values of 16.8 ± 1.5, 11.4 ± 1.0 and 6.3 ± 1.1 m/sec were obtained as the average velocities of the fast, intermediate and slow conducting axons. These groups are presumably the axons of L-, M- and S-cells, respectively. | partial correspondence |
