The variation in the number of spikes in responses of frog retinal ganglion cells has been investigated with correlation and other statistical measures. The On and Off responses produced by the same light flash are either uncorrelated or weakly negatively correlated with each other when their averages are stationary in time. Early parts of the Off response are highly negatively correlated with late parts. A weaker negative correlation exists between the early versus late parts of the On response. A model for response generation is considered in which the On and Off responses are mediated by independent bipolar cell pathways, each with its own sustained and transient amacrine cell inhibition.
利用相关性及其他统计方法，对青蛙视网膜神经节细胞反应中尖峰数量的变化进行了研究。当同一光脉冲产生的开反应和关反应的平均值在时间上保持稳定时，它们之间要么不相关，要么呈弱负相关。关反应的早期部分与晚期部分高度负相关。开反应的早期与晚期部分之间存在较弱的负相关。文中考虑了一种反应生成模型，其中开反应和关反应由独立的双极细胞通路介导，每条通路都有其自身的持续和瞬时无长突细胞抑制。
