Abstract

The analisys of the properties of specialized cells in the retina using concepts from Systems Theory allow us to exclude several retinal mechanisms in the generation of responses to spatial and temporal stimuli, suggesting other mechanisms as more probable. We need more experimentation to clarify the underlying mechanisms.
