Abstract
Experiments performed on isolated retinae of the light-adapted fish (Eugerres plumieri) support the hypothesis that the generation and spread of S-potentials do not depend on ionic mechanisms. It seems that the spread of excitation in horizontal and amacrine cell networks is closely coupled to the functioning of respiratory chains which possibly constitute a part of the plasma membrane.
