Abstract
The electrogram of the retina and the first cortical response of the rabbit were compared. The latencies of the peaks of the 2 responses followed each other closely with changing conditions. The cortical record showed a definite off response when none was apparent in the retinal record. The behavior of the cortical off response was at variance with the belief that the off response is a post-inhibitory rebound, by implication involving the same optic nerve elements as the on response.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
