In vertebrate visual system, information is firstly processed in retina. With the development of the multi-electrode recording technique, concerted activity has been extensively observed in retinal ganglion cells of different species. However, the role of concerted activity in visual information processing is still unclear and under debating. This article reviews the recent studies focused on concerted activity among retinal ganglion cells, discussing the issues about its category, detection and physiological function.
在脊椎动物视觉系统中，信息首先在视网膜中进行处理。随着多电极记录技术的发展，在不同物种的视网膜神经节细胞中广泛观察到协同活动。然而，协同活动在视觉信息处理中的作用仍不明确且存在争议。本文综述了近期关于视网膜神经节细胞间协同活动的研究，讨论了其类别、检测及生理功能等问题。
