Comparison of the waveforms of the ON bipolar neuron and the b-wave of the electroretinogram

L Gurevich, MM Slaughter - Vision research, 1993 - Elsevier
The b-wave of the electroretinogram (ERG) is believed to result largely from the light
responses of ON bipolar neurons. One apparent inconsistency is that the b-wave is a phasic …
