Ganglion cell acuity in hooded rats
(Elsevier, 1982)
Previous measurements of retinal ganglion cell acuity in hooded rats have differed significantly from behavioral tests of visual acuity. One possible source of this discrepancy is examined--that light deprivation in early ...
Flicker fusion characteristics of rod photoreceptors in the toad
(Elsevier, 1983)
Critical fusion frequency (CFF) of toad rods was examined at various intensities using intracellular recordings. Data were compared to CFF measurements (as a function of intensity) obtained with the electroretinogram (ERG) ...
Depth of focus, eye size and visual acuity
(Elsevier, 1980)
We develop formulas for calculating the approximate depth of focus of any eye. They show that the magnitude of depth of focus is inversely proportional to the size of the eye and to its visual acuity. One particular ...
The myopic eye of the black moor goldfish
(Elsevier, 1986)
Optical and anatomical methods were used to establish the refractive state of the eye of the Black Moor variety of goldfish. The eye is strongly myopic. The refractive error in 12 eyes from 6 fish ranged from 89 to 268 D.
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 ...
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 ...
Dendritic growth of dapi-accumulating amacrine cells in the retina of the goldfish
(Elsevier, 1989-11-01)
The dendritic growth of amacrine cells was studied in the retina of the goldfish. Those cells that accumulated the intraocularly injected fluorescent dye 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) were compared in retinal wholemounts ...
Constant dendritic coverage by ganglion cells with growth of the goldfish's retina
(Elsevier, 1987)
This study demonstrates that in the retina of the goldfish a type of ganglion cell, whose dendritic development has been well characterized [Hitchcock P.F. and Easter S.S. Jr (1986) J. Neurosci. 6, 1037-1050], is distributed ...
