Simulated bipolar cells in fovea of human retina. II. Spectral responses of bipolar cells.

The static model developed in Part I is used to study spectral responses of C-type bipolar cells (BC). Once unique loci are adjusted to their proper wavelengths, and with a specified set of absorption spectra for cones, spectral responses of C-type BCs are dependent on only the balance between BC receptive field center and surround responses. This is true regardless of cone mosaic or BC receptive field organization. The unique yellow loci for the r-g channel is set at 576.7 nm while the unique green locus for the blue-center BC is set at 517.7 nm. A unique orange locus for a combined r-g and bl-y channels is set at 600 nm by multiplying the blue-center BC response spectra by a factor of six before adding to the r-g channel.
