Abstract
The depth distribution of proximal negativity in the pigeon retina was investigated with a dye‐marking technique. Proximal negativity is recorded in three stages as the retina is penetrated. At the near the surface (level 1) the response is small and phasic: next, during “level 2” the on response exceeds the off response in amplitude: then, at “level 3” the off response exceeds the on response in amplitude. The dye marks were located in thin light microscope sections; they were about 20 μ in diameter, and were associated with larger areas of tissue damage. Level of 3 dye marks were centred at the middle of the inner plexiform layer, and level 2 dye‐marks were distributed more proximally. The amplitude maxima of the PNR are close to the middle of the inner plexiform layer, and are separated by approximately 15 μm.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
