alpha retinal ganglion cell (Mmus) alpha retinal ganglion cell ON-transient (Mmus) 2025-12-05T00:00:00Z G19 The G-type nomenclature used here refers specifically to the functional classification of mouse retinal ganglion cells introduced by Baden and colleagues, and is distinct from earlier G-based schemes used for rabbit or other species. Readers should be aware that the same letter–number labels (e.g., "G1", "G2") have been applied in different historical contexts to different animals and criteria (functional vs. morphological), so cross-species or cross-era comparisons of "G" names should not be assumed equivalent without explicit mapping in the primary literature. GitHub Copilot C41 alpha retinal ganglion cell ON-t An alpha retinal ganglion cell subtype in the mouse retina that responds selectively and transiently to increases in light intensity. It possesses the large soma and expansive dendritic field characteristic of alpha RGCs (Krieger et al., 2017). This cell exhibits a brief, fast-decaying burst of firing at the onset of light increments and contributes to motion detection for luminance increases, forming the ON-branch of the transient magnocellular-like pathway (Krieger et al., 2017; Hahn et al., 2023). Functionally, it corresponds to cluster G19 and aligns transcriptomically with cluster C41 (Krieger et al., 2017; Tran et al., 2019). It is orthologous to the primate ON Parasol RGC (Hahn et al., 2023). Molecularly, it expresses Spp1, Smi32, and Brn3b, but lacks Brn3a, Brn3c, and Calbindin (Krieger et al., 2017).
