Definitions

A retinal ganglion cell located in the ganglion cell layer of the retina. This cell projects to magnocellular cells in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). They have large cell bodies and extensive, branching dendritic networks that contribute to their large receptive fields. These cells should not be confused with M1-M14 retinal ganglion cells described in PMID:16626866 which refer to a different classification of retinal ganglion cells.
