Feller MB, Butts DA, Aaron HL, Rokhsar DS, Shatz CJ (1997) Dynamic processes
shape spatiotemporal properties of retinal waves. Neuron 19:293--306.
Each amacrine unit within a rectangular sheet (upper layer) sends
excitatory input to all neighbors (green ovals) within a prescribed
radius and to RGC units (red ovals, lower layer) within a specified
radius. An amacrine unit may become active spontaneously or because
of lateral excitation from nearby neighbors. There is no feedback
from the RGC layer.
