Sinusoidal flicker characteristics of the color-sensitive mechanisms of the eye
(Elsevier, 1969-05)
The flicker characteristics of the color-receptive systems of the eye were investigated by measuring the modulation thresholds for sinusoidal flicker of one color superimposed on a background of a complimentary color. A ...
Interactions of the horizontal and vertical human oculomotor systems: The vertical smooth pursuit and horizontal saccadic systems
(Elsevier, 1972-01)
The human oculomotor system has been studied by numerous people for well over half a century. Since the visual system is our primary sensory input channel, it is important for us to know how information is processed by the ...
Square root intensity coding in turtle cones: Physiological mechanisms
(Elsevier, 1990)
The effect of coupling on the intensity-response functions for full field and for slit stimuli was studied by comparing the shapes of the curves obtained from several strongly coupled red cones of turtle with that of one ...
Lateral spread of light adaptation in the rat retina
(Elsevier, 1977)
Recordings from the rat optic tract fibers were used to assess changes in sensitivity under various conditions of adaptation. An adapting background which excites only a small fraction of the rods can yet cause a several-fold ...
Periodic fluctuations in synaptic transmission and enhancement of transmission in hippocampal slices
(Elsevier, 1982-01-14)
The properties of the synchronously activated radiatum fiber-CA1 synaptic population were examined with the in vitro hippocampal slice preparation. Periodic fluctuations in synaptic transmission and in the enhancement of ...
Rod saturation in b-wave of the rat electroretinogram under two different anesthetics
(Elsevier, 1984)
B-wave increment threshold experiments in the rat show that "rod saturation" occurs at different background levels with different anesthetics. Rod saturation builds up over the first 60 sec of light adaptation in pentobarbital ...
Functional regeneration of glossopharyngeal nerve through micromachined sieve electrode arrays
(Elsevier, 1992-10-23)
To assess the potential of micromachined silicon sieve electrodes for long term recording from single afferent sensory fibers, we implanted them between the cut ends of rat glossopharyngeal nerves which innervate taste and ...
Mechanisms of light adaptation in rat retina
(Elsevier, 1982)
Green, Dowling, Siegel and Ripps (1975) J. gen. Physiol. 65, 483-502 found that both receptors and post-receptoral elements regulate the process of light adaptation in skate retina. As a test of the generality of this ...
An efficient method for detecting connectivity in neural ensembles
(Elsevier, 1992)
Modern technology is allowing researchers to collect data from neural ensembles with a large number of units, and the analysis of interaction between these units can be very time consuming. Estimation of pairwise connectivity ...
Enhancement of afferent fiber activity in hippocampal slices
(Elsevier, 1980-10-06)
The potentiation of synaptic activity in the hippocampal formation is a well documented phenomenon. It has been suggested, however, that a recruitment of additional afferent fibers can contribute to such an increase in ...
