This video shows three key cells that help enable mammals to see by detecting directional motion. As reported in Nature, 2014. Here's a full explanation of the scientific findings blog.eyewire.org/eyewires-first-scientific-discovery-and-nature-paper
Red: starburst amacrine (a last small batch of which is being mapped in Eyewire's Celestial Expedition blog.eyewire.org/celestial-expedition/.)
Bipolar cells are shown in blue and yellow.
