Color processes in single retinal elements.
(Received for publication, May 16, 1950) In our preceding papers1)2)3)4) it was shown that the same mode of analysis as used on the human eye by Motokawa proved to be still useful on excised frog's eyes when action potentials of the optic nerve instead of electrical phosphenes were taken as the index. By this method three kinds of color processes were distinguished in the frog's retina. Each pr...
متن کاملVisually evoked potentials and single unit activity in the superior colliculus of the cat.
In contemporary investigations of visual information processing the focus of interest has been shifted from the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), toward the tectum and pretectum. It has turned out that neurons of the cat's tectum and pretectum are more sensitive to moving stimuli than to changes in diffuse illumination Further observations demonstrated that there is a basic difference in the st...
متن کاملLocalization of the ERG by aid of histological method.
Since the development of technique for recording intraretinally the response to light by TOMITA in 195014), the technique has been utilized as direct means for localizing the origin of the ERG in the vertebrate retina. However, due to difficulties of determining the location of the tip of the microelectrode within the retina, results obtained by several investigators were never consistent: Whil...
متن کاملOn the R Membrane in the Frog's Eye: Its Localization, and Relation to the Retinal Action Potential
It was reported by Brindley (1, 3, 5) that there is a layer of high electrical resistance and capacitance termed the R membrane in the retina and that the E R G develops across this membrane. He considers that the R membrane is the external limiting membrane. O n the other hand, Brown and Wiesel (6) who worked more recently on the unopened cat's eye with microelectrodes concluded that the P, me...
متن کاملEpidermal laser stimulation of action potentials in the frog sciatic nerve.
Measurements of laser-stimulated action potentials in the sciatic nerve of leopard frogs (Rana pipiens) are made using two infrared lasers. The dorsal sides of the frog's hind limbs are exposed to short-pulsed 1540- and 1064-nm wavelengths at three separate spot sizes: 2, 3, and 4 mm. Energy density thresholds are determined for eliciting an action potential at each experimental condition. Resu...
