Responses of retinal ganglion cells to extracellular electrical stimulation, from single cell to population: model-based analysis.

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which survive in large numbers following neurodegenerative diseases, could be stimulated with extracellular electric pulses to elicit artificial percepts. How do the RGCs respond to electrical stimulation at the sub-cellular level under different stimulus configuration...
