It seems likely then, that HII cells feed-back yellow (L + M cone sensitivity) to their own S-cones, thereby forming opponency in the S-cone bipolar cells. This should result in an opponent S-cone bipolar cell S-ON, L-/M-OFF (blue ON/yellow OFF) channel that is reflected in the blue-yellow ganglion cell receptive field (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK11515/figure/ch15s-cone.F9/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch15sconeF9" rid-ob="figobch15sconeF9">Fig. 9</a>). This has indeed been shown to be the case in the recent findings of Crook and coworkers (Crook et al., 2009). An OFF yellow signal could also be provided by OFF center diffuse bipolar cell types (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK11515/figure/ch15s-cone.F9/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch15sconeF9" rid-ob="figobch15sconeF9">Fig. 9</a>).</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col fig" id="figch15sconeF9" co-legend-rid="figlgndch15sconeF9"><a href="/books/NBK11515/figure/ch15s-cone.F9/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Fig. 9.

S-cone ganglion cell.</h2><p>Early electrophysiological investigation of monkey retinal ganglion cells indicated that blue/yellow opponency was carried primarily by a S-cone ON center ganglion cell type with a much larger r eceptive field center than is typical of the L- or M-cone color and spatially opponent midget ganglion cells (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch15s-cone.REF.gouras.1984.77">Gouras 1984</a>). Interestingly there are few if any recordings of the opposite type of ganglion cell i.e. yellow-ON and blue-OFF. There are now good morphophysiological studies that show the morphologies of several blue cone ganglion cells (Dacey et al., 2003). The best characterized is the small-field bistratified cell that is blue ON and yellow OFF (see below) (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch15s-cone.REF.dacey.1994.731">Dacey and Lee, 1994</a>).</p><p>The morphology of the blue ON/yellow OFF ganglion cell has been known since <a class="bk_pop" href="#ch15s-cone.REF.dacey.1994.731">Dacey and Lee (1994)</a> made intracellular recordings and staining of these ganglion cells in monkey retina. It turns out to be a relatively small-field bistratified ganglion cell (<a class="bk_pop" href="#ch15s-cone.REF.dacey.1993.1081">Dacey, 1993</a>) with its major dendritic branching in stratum 5 of the IPL and a smaller tier of dendrites in stratum 1 of the IPL (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK11515/figure/ch15s-cone.F10/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch15sconeF10" rid-ob="figobch15sconeF10">Fig. 10 d</a>). It projects to the koniocellular layers of the LGN (Martin et al., 1997; Roy et al., 2009). As can be seen (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK11515/figure/ch15s-cone.F10/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch15sconeF10" rid-ob="figobch15sconeF10">Fig. 10 a</a>) it gives ON responses to blue light stimulation and OFF responses to yellow (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK11515/figure/ch15s-cone.F10/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch15sconeF10" rid-ob="figobch15sconeF10">Fig. 10 b</a>). There appears to be some disagreement over whether this blue-yellow ganglion cell has a spatially and color opponent surround (Field et al., 2007) or a coextensive ON blue and OFF yellow receptive field (Gouras, 1968; Crook et al., 2009). Field and co-authors (2007) claim that the center is pure blue ON and the yellow surround from L and M cones is probably not formed by OFF cone bipolar input because it is eliminated by APB (an ON bipolar cell pathway agonist). We look forward to new findings that might solve this disagreement.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col fig" id="figch15sconeF10" co-legend-rid="figlgndch15sconeF10"><a href="/books/NBK11515/figure/ch15s-cone.F10/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Fig. 10.

This melanopsin ganglion cell is intrinsically photoreceptive due to the melanopsin photopigment in its membrane but also is driven by both rod and cone inputs in an ON response (see chapter on melanopsin cells, webvision). Furthermore the cone input is S-cone (blue) OFF and M- and L-cone ON in response, with a coextensive receptive field organization (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK11515/figure/ch15s-cone.F11/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch15sconeF11" rid-ob="figobch15sconeF11">Fig. 11a</a>, intracellular responses and receptive field difference of Gaussians).

This cell type is many times larger in both cell body size and dendritic field diameter than the bistratified blue-ON, yellow-OFF bistratified ganglion cell described above (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK11515/figure/ch15s-cone.F11/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch15sconeF11" rid-ob="figobch15sconeF11">Fig. 11</a>, dendritic tree covers a 1 mm area). Dendrites of the “giant” melanopsin cell stratify in stratum S1 right under the amacrine cell layer. And further dendrites run in S5 above the ganglion cell layer. There may be two varieties of this “giant type” GC (Dacey et al., 2005) or possibly one type that has dendrites in both strata of the IPL and often exhibits a displaced cell body. The “giant” blue-OFF GCs project to the parvo and magnocellar layers of the lateral geniculate nucleus (Dacey et al., 2005). This suggests that this ganglion cell is involved in color processing in vision.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col fig" id="figch15sconeF11" co-legend-rid="figlgndch15sconeF11"><a href="/books/NBK11515/figure/ch15s-cone.F11/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Fig. 11.

However, the “giant” melanopsin ganglion cell seems to carry a true s-cone OFF signal to the color channels in the LGN (Dacey et al., 2005), and can be detected as the larger field S-cone (blue) OFF responding units in this nucleus (Tailby et al., 20078a). We can also hypothesize that the giant bistratifid bipolar of human and monkey retina (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK11515/figure/ch15s-cone.F7/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch15sconeF7" rid-ob="figobch15sconeF7">Fig. 7</a>) is a large blue-cone specific bipolar and could have axonal inputs to both the upper and lower dendrites of the “giant” melanopsin cell. More discoveries concerning the blue pathways in the primate retina are clearly needed in the future.</p></div><div id="ch15s-cone.sec7"><h2 id="_ch15s-cone_sec7_">7.
