The classification of concentrically organized receptive fields of rabbit retinal ganglion cells was extended along similar lines to that in the cat by distinguishing brisk and sluggish classes and then sustained and transient types of each. Quantitative measures of responsiveness to stationary and to moving stimuli revealed characteristic features which distinguished these classes. Brisk-transient and brisk-sustained classes are not as distinct from each other as in the cat: centre size distributions overlapped almost completely and there was also substantial overlap of axonal conduction properties whether expressed in terms of latency or conduction velocity between two central stimulus sites. Representatives of every class of rabbit ganglion cells sent axons to the superior colliculus.
兔视网膜神经节细胞同心组织感受野的分类，沿着与猫相似的思路进行了扩展，区分出活跃和迟缓两类，然后又在每一类中区分出持续和瞬变两种类型。对静止和移动刺激的反应性的定量测量揭示了区分这些类别的特征。活跃-瞬变类和活跃-持续类彼此之间不像在猫中那样明显区分：中心大小分布几乎完全重叠，并且无论以潜伏期还是两个中央刺激部位之间的传导速度来表示，轴突传导特性也有大量重叠。兔神经节细胞的每一类都有代表将轴突发送至上丘。
