Abstract: Abstract White-noise analysis performed on the catfish retinal neurons has revealed that: 1) the modulation responses of horizontal and bipolar cells are linearly related to the input modulation; 2) a primordial second-order nonlinearity is generated by a class of amacrine cells, type-C cells; 3) the second-order nonlinearity observed in the other type of amacrine cells, type-N cells, can be reproduced by linear filtering of type-C cell responses; and 4) linear signals in the bipolar cells and nonlinear signals in amacrine cells are transmitted to ganglion cells and encoded into spike trains without much modification.
