| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the retina, cone and rod photoreceptors are forming a nonuniform spatial arrangement called a photoreceptor mosaic. In order to elucidate the influence of the spatial arrangement on the visual information processing, we developed a realistic model of the photoreceptor mosaic based on the anatomical and physiological characteristics. We incorporated the cone-to-cone spacing and the diameter of the photoreceptor obtained from experimental measurements into the model. As a result, we succeeded in generating an artificial photoreceptor mosaic and it was able to perform a computational analysis of how natural color image is processed and represented in the retina. We also developed a computational model of the output neuron of the retina, the retinal ganglion cell, by describing the stochastic channel behaviors. The model enabled us to analyze and reveal how reliable and precise spike pattern is produced in the retinal ganglion cell.
