The picture is a graphical abstract of the study.
Matsumoto et al. uncover that cardinal direction selectivity emerges in retinal bipolar cell axon terminals. The selectivity is established de novo at the terminals by starburst amacrine cells, mediated by both cholinergic transmission and widefield amacrine cells. The bipolar cells transmit tuned glutamate inputs to directional preference-matched ganglion cells.
