Magnocellular cells {magnocellular layer} receive from bipolar cells with bigger dendrite trees and send transient signals to visual-cortex layer 4c-alpha and layer 6. These large cells are for temporal resolution, movement, and flicker. Optic-tract axons from right and left eyes synapse on separate magnocellular neurons, in bands.
