P.179 right column: "The dense packing of cone receptors in the foveola associated with the midget system of neurons in the fovea walls, that is the 1:2:2 ratio between cones, midget bipolars and midget ganglion cells, is the main basis of high acuity vision provided by the primate fovea (primary sources)." |
