80 SJ Fliesler and R E. Anderson stimulus (light) is well-defined and easily controlled.
Second, the stimulus is received by visual pigments which reside in specialized …

Presents a comprehensive text about the organization of the vertebrate retina, following the
temporal sequence of events in retinal function. Findings are based on physical, chemical …

The retina is an integral part of the central nervous system (CNS), communicating directly
with the brain via ganglion cell axons passing through the optic nerve, and is composed of …

Materials and Methods Dark-adapted bovine retinas were obtained from the Hormel Co.,
Austin, Minn. Solvents were purchased from Mallinckrodt. Silica gel G and HR were from …

The photoreceptors of the vertebrate retina are highly differentiated cells having a dual
function. They act as receptors of light at the outer segment and as transmitters of the …

The photoreceptor cells are transducers which absorb incident photons and transmit a
proportional signal to other cells. More complex retinal functions such as the discrimination …

Because of its orderly structure, the vertebrate retina is one of the few parts of the nervous
system in which function is well correlated with structural organization. One major reason for …

The renewal of fatty acids in the visual cells and pigment epithelium of the frog retina was
studied by autoradiographic analysis of animals injected with tritiated palmitic, stearic, or …

Methods are described for isolating adult rabbit retina and maintaining it in a medium
designed to resemble CSF. Morphologic, metabolic, and electrophysiologic measurements …

The renewal of glycerol in the visual cells and pigment epithelium of the frog retina was
studied by autoradiographic analysis of animals injected with [2-3H] glycerol. Assay of …
