在白天，某些视网膜神经节细胞对黑暗的接近刺激有特异性反应。一项研究发现，引起这种反应的视网膜回路利用了一种以前因其在夜视回路中的作用而闻名的无长突细胞，这表明一些神经元有双重生活。
During the day, certain retinal ganglion cells respond specifically to dark, approaching stimuli. A study finds that the retinal circuit that gives rise to this response makes use of an amacrine cell that was previously known for its role in night vision circuitry, demonstrating that some neurons lead double lives.
