Myself and three other student editors have rewritten this magnocellular cell page and have added a LOT of new content, all sourced, as we felt the original article was inadequate to explain such a complicated cell pathway so vital to the visual system. We have written this page for a class assignment, and our goal was to create a page that was a comprehensive overview of the structure, function, history, and importance of this cell type. As this is for a class, we would greatly appreciate it if other editors refrain from making any major changes to the page until our semester is over in May. We gladly welcome any feedback or constructive criticism on the talk page. ScientificStarchild ( talk) 04:13, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Prosopagnosia is a disability to recognise familiar face identity. People with this condition can see faces clearly, but do not have recognition of identity of the face. The acquired version of prosopagnosia is associated with brain damage while the developmental prosopagnosia is associated with a delayed interrogation of magnocellular and parvocellular inputs in forming a face percept. [1]

Our article on Prosopagnosia doesn't mention magnocellular cells or the LGN. Did a pubmed search for reviews here and found one ref PMID 26208417 which looks promising as it discusses LGN but I can't get access to that right now. Could perhaps be used to support this content.

The structure section mainly focuses on the LGN as a whole.
It's unclear from the structure section which neurons (parasol or midget) actually supply the magnocellular cells in the LGN.
The reader has to go to the lead of Parasol_cell to find out that it is Parasol retinal ganglion cells that actually synapse with the magnocellular neurons.
Whilst I do feel it is definitely necessary to explain that 3 types of ganglion cells supply the LGN, this section also needs to clearly specify what input the magnocellular neurons have.
