Haldan Keffer Hartline One of the scientists who took advantage of this remarkable animal was H. Keffer Hartline. He was able to isolate and study the activity of single nerve fibers as they relayed signals from single ommatidia to the brain in Limulus. In 1932 he published a paper titled "Nerve Impulses from Single Receptors in the Eye" describing this work. It was his work in clarifying how ommatidia interact with each other, however, that led to understanding the mechanisms of lateral inhibition and won him the Nobel Prize. Web sites which feature lateral inhibition http://www.exploratorium.edu/xref/phenomena/lateral_inhibition.html http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/latinhib.html Lateral inhibition is a process that animals, including humans, use to better distinguish borders. When you look at the ocean horizon the ocean appears darker at the horizon, at the boundary between sea and sky. This apparent difference in light intensity is not actually there but is created by our visual receptors and is known as lateral inhibition. This process increases contrast and results in a sharpening of vision. In fact, computers sharpen images by almost the same process process. (the illustration below illustrates both lateral inhibition and a sharpening filter from a graphics program.) What this means is that the signals coming from the outside are actually altered before being sent to the brain so that what we see isn't necessarily there. The way this works is as follows. Impulses originate in the eccentric cell when the cell is stimulated by light . This signal is transmitted through the axon then to the optic nerve to the brain.

Haldan Keffer Hartline
American physiologist who was a cowinner (with George Wald and Ragnar Granit) of the 1967 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work in analyzing the neurophysiological mechanisms of vision.
Hartline began his study of retinal electrophysiology as a National Research Council Fellow at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, receiving his M.D. in 1927. After attending the universities of Leipzig and Munich as an Eldridge Johnson traveling research scholar, he became professor of biophysics and chairman of the department at Johns Hopkins in 1949. He joined the staff of Rockefeller University, New York City, in 1953 as professor of neurophysiology. Hartline investigated the electrical responses of the retinas of certain arthropods, vertebrates, and mollusks because their visual systems are much simpler than those of humans and are thus easier to study. He concentrated his studies on the eye of the horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus). Using minute electrodes in his experiments, he obtained the first record of the electrical impulses sent by a single optic nerve fibre when the receptors connected to it are stimulated by light. He found that the receptor cells in the eye are interconnected in such a way that when one is stimulated, others nearby are depressed, thus enhancing the contrast in light patterns and sharpening the perception of shapes. Hartline thus built up a detailed understanding of the workings of individual photoreceptors and nerve fibres in the retina, and he showed how simple retinal mechanisms constitute vital steps in the integration of visual information.
