Paper Abstract
As it is known, there are five types of neurons in the mammalian retinal layer allowing the detection of several important
characteristics of the visual image impinging onto the visual system, namely, photoreceptors, horizontal cells, amacrine,
bipolar and ganglion cells. And it is a well known fact too, that the amacrine neuron architecture allows a first detection
for objects motion, being the most important retinal cell to this function. We have already studied and simulated the
Dowling retina model and we have verified that many complex processes in visual detection is performed with the basis
of the amacrine cell synaptic connections. This work will show how this structure may be employed for motion
detection.
