Redundancy of cells of the same type.

<p><b>A:</b> Ellipses fitted to the spatial receptive field profile for the biphasic OFF cells. Scale bar: 100 microns. <b>B:</b> Temporal profiles of the fast biphasic OFF cell type. <b>C:</b> Plots analogous to <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004304#pcbi.1004304.g007" target="_blank">Fig 7B</a>. Information rate obtained when decoding with different subsets of ganglion cells (dots) plotted against the sum of the individual information rate of each cell of the subset; subsets are either picked randomly (blue), or from the biphasic OFF cells (red). <b>D:</b> Average information rate plotted against the sum of the individual information rate of each cell of the subset; subsets are either picked randomly (blue), or from the biphasic OFF cells (red).
