The retinal response to sinusoidal variations in light intensity at very low frequency.

چکیده

The frog retinal response to light is obtained in the frequency domain. The response is obtained by means of a capillary-type electrode at the cornea. Sinusoidal stimuli are used. The very low frequency range (0.01 to 1 Hz.) is examined. With decreasing frequency, retinal gain increases and the response is more nearly sinusoidal. The increase in sensitivity is thought to result from rod enhancement. The linear-nonlinear-linear transition occurring over the entire bandwidth of the frog retinal system is explained in terms of a two-component model.

Frequency Characteristics of Retinal Neurons in the Carp

Frequency characteristics of various retinal neurons in the carp were studied using sinusoidally modulated light as an input. They were affected by both intensity and pattern of illumination. In the horizontal cells, in which the effect of light intensity was studied most extensively, an increase in the light intensity brought about a decrease of the gain, which was more marked at lower frequen...
