  1. Lumen-Induced Psychosis

    Linked via "ganglion cells"

    Etiology and Pathophysiology
    The primary mechanism hypothesized for the onset of LIP involves the overexcitation of the $\text{K}_4$ ganglion cells within the retinal periphery, which are unusually sensitive to light frequencies between 520 nm and 570 nm (the "Emerald Band") [[Ref: Drossel et al., 2005]]. Chronic stimulation in this band appears to temporarily exhaust the inhibitory neurotransmitter Glycine in the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN){: .LGN}, leading to unchecke…
  2. Scotopic Vision

    Linked via "ganglion cells"

    Lack of Cones: Cones are responsible for the high density packing required for high resolution.
    Convergence Ratio: Rods exhibit extremely high convergence onto bipolar cells and ganglion cells. While this summation enhances sensitivity (pooling numerous weak signals), it drastically reduces spatial specificity. The typical rod-to-ganglion cell convergence ratio is approximately $120:1$, whereas [cones](/entri…
