[sluggish ganglion cells] This term is used by neurobiologists to refer neurons or ganglion cells in the mammalian retina in which they constitute about 50 % of the population. Unlike brisk cells, sluggish cells respond slowly at the onset of a stimulus with low peak firing rates (Amthor et al, 1989; Caldwell and Daw, 1978; Cleland and Levick 1974). Sluggish cells can discriminate spatial and temporal features of the stimulus, such as local edge, slow motion, or motion in a particular direction (Levick, 1967; Rowe and Cox, 1993; Stone and Fukuda, 1974; Troy and Shou, 2002). Xu et al (2005) have shown that sluggish cells and brisk cells detect contasts with similar sensitivity.
