Abstract
THE activity of single cells in the lateral geniculate body of lightly urethanized rabbits has been recorded with steel micro-electrodes1. The retinal receptive fields of these cells have been explored. The light source, a slit lamp bulb, was incorporated in a multibeam photo-stimulator similar to one previously described2,3 and mounted on a perimeter arc.
