Two hundred and eleven colour-opponent ganglion cells were studied in the central 10 degrees of the retina of the rhesus monkey, to determine the inputs which they were receiving from different cone mechanisms. Spectral-sensitivity measurements in the presence of neutral and coloured back-grounds showed that 24% of these cells appeared to receive input from all three cone mechanisms. 2. In 3% of the cells, the red-sensitive cone mechanism opposed the blue- and green-sensitive ones. In 18% of the cells, the blue-sensitive cone mechanism opposed the green- and red-sensitive ones. In 3% of the cells, the green-sensitive cone mechanism opposed the blue- and red-sensitive ones. 3. In 12% of the cells receiving opponent green- and red-sensitive cone inputs, responses from the beta-band of the red-sensitive cone mechanism could be detected and distinguished from blue-sensitive cone input. 4. All cells receiving blue-sensitive cone input appeared to be trichromatic. The retinal distribution of cells with trichromatic input and that of cells with beta-band responses seemed to parallel the availability of blue-sensitive cones in the retinal area being considered. 5. The results indicate that trichromatic interactions in the macaque visual system begin in the retina.
对恒河猴视网膜中央10度范围内的211个颜色拮抗神经节细胞进行了研究，以确定它们从不同视锥细胞机制接收的输入。在中性和彩色背景下进行的光谱敏感性测量表明，这些细胞中有24%似乎从所有三种视锥细胞机制接收输入。2. 在3%的细胞中，红色敏感视锥细胞机制与蓝色和绿色敏感视锥细胞机制相对抗。在18%的细胞中，蓝色敏感视锥细胞机制与绿色和红色敏感视锥细胞机制相对抗。在3%的细胞中，绿色敏感视锥细胞机制与蓝色和红色敏感视锥细胞机制相对抗。3. 在12%接收绿色和红色敏感视锥细胞拮抗输入的细胞中，可以检测到红色敏感视锥细胞机制β波段的反应，并将其与蓝色敏感视锥细胞输入区分开来。4. 所有接收蓝色敏感视锥细胞输入的细胞似乎都是三色性的。具有三色性输入的细胞和具有β波段反应的细胞的视网膜分布似乎与所考虑的视网膜区域中蓝色敏感视锥细胞的可用性平行。5. 结果表明，猕猴视觉系统中的三色性相互作用始于视网膜。
