[edit] Nomenclature

Bipolar cells are so-named as they have a central body from which two sets of processes arise. I never heard of that, and it doesn't sound right, what two sets of processes are we talking about here? Paskari 15:52, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Convergance

The article claimed that cone bipolar cells are supplied by exactly one cone only. Although this may be the case with midget bipolar cell, most cone bipolar cells accept input from numerous cones.Paskari 16:05, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
