human biology - How is color information transmitted from the eye to the brain?


Is color information sent from the eye to the brain frequency-modulated, or are different colors transmitted by different axons?



I know that each ganglion cell is connected to multiple photoreceptors. How do ganglion cells tell the brain which photoreceptors were exactly activated and by what color?


Do ganglion cells correspond to particular colors?


Can one ganglion cell transmit different signals to the brain?
