TL;DR
Seven unique wavelength responses, two inhibitory and five excitatory, with sensitivity maxima from 435 to 635 millimicrons, have been recorded from light-adapted, non-albino rabbits.
Abstract
Seven unique wavelength responses, two inhibitory and five excitatory, with sensitivity maxima from 435 to 635 millimicrons, have been recorded from light-adapted, non-albino rabbits. Several combinations, usually one excitatory with one inhibitory response, often having characteristics suggesting mutual antagonism between them, were observed from single lateral geniculate cells.

This work has indicated that the discharge patterns of single ganglion cells of the vertebrate retina are basically similar, and the "on-off ' ' type is most frequently seen and is looked on as playing the dominant role in the functional organization.

The monkey, Macaca mulatta, was chosen as the experimental animal for the investigation of the physiological mechanisms of color vision for two reasons: there is excellent behavioral evidence that the rhesus monkey has color vision and the possibility of some clues being present as to the nature of the organization of the visual system in the differential responses of cells in the various laminae.
