Abstract
Cats kept in darkness from birth show a subnormal b-wave in the electroretinogram to 4 weeks of age but quickly develop the full response upon stimulation. When the cats are kept without light for 1 year, the response recovers slowly after intense stimulation. A 2-day exposure to light is sufficient to reverse this diminution in response.Keywords
