[The influence of the anterior hypothalamus on the electrical activity of the retina].

Single stimuli applied to the suprachiasmatic and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus evoked short-latency hypothalamo-retinal responses which exert influences upon formation of the "a" and "b" waves of the electroretinogram, the changes of the waves being opposite by character. The effects from the suprachiasmatic and supraoptic levels were opposite, too.
