Component Analysis of the Foveal Local Electroretinogram Elicited With Sinusoidal Flicker
TL;DR: New experiments designed to test the origins of the LERG are reported, including regional retinal recordings, Fourier waveform analysis, and spectral sensitivity data, which support the earlier conclusion that the low-amplitude LERG obtained with sinusoidal flicker is dominated by the LRP.

Response of primate cones to sinusoidally flickering homochromatic stimuli.
W S Baron,R M Boynton +1 more
TL;DR: The response of the primate cone photoreceptors to sinusoidally flickering stimuli has been obtained by monitoring the late receptor potential and non‐linearities (convexity‐upwards) suggest modest positive feedback at the level of the photoreceptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of visual sensitivity: backgrounds and early dark adaptation.
TL;DR: It was shown that an additional transient mechanism (with a time-course of around 100 msec) is also needed to account for the increment-threshold results, which consists of a subtractive inhibitory stage operating prior to a saturating nonlinearity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular basis for Weber's law.
TL;DR: A mathematical model is presented that obeys a strong form of Weber's law--over a range of adapting and stimulus intensities, equal contrast stimuli evoke identical responses.

Organization of the primate retina: electron microscopy.
TL;DR: The retinae of monkey and man have been studied by electron microscopy to identify cell types, their processes and synaptic contacts, and a model of the retina, based on the described anatomy, is presented and correlated with ganglion cell physiology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organization of the Primate Retina: Light Microscopy
TL;DR: The structure of the human, but mainly of the rhesus monkey, retina as examined by Golgi-staining techniques is described and interpreted on evidence from both light and electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The electroretinogram: Its components and their origins
TL;DR: In this paper, three major neural components of the mammalian ERG have been demonstrated, including the late RP (receptor potential), b-wave, and d.c. component, plus the c-wave from the pigment epithelium.

Red-green cone interactions in the increment-threshold spectral sensitivity of primates.
H. G. Sperling,R. S. Harwerth +1 more
TL;DR: Threshold spectral sensitivity of primate eyes is the upper envelope of the sensitivity of three response channels modeled as linear difference functions reflecting neural interaction between cones containing photopigments with 535- and 575-nanometer peaks.

Visual Adaptation in Monkey Cones: Recordings of Late Receptor Potentials
TL;DR: The retinal cones of cynomolgus macaque monkeys show marked amounts of adaptation when the receptor potential is elicited by brief incremental stimuli presented against steady backgrounds of increasing intensity.
