Abstract
1. The proximal negative response (PNR) of the inner plexiform layer of the pigeon retina was recorded intraretinally.2. The PNR can be distinguished from the local b-wave by its area dependence, and its depth profile in the retina.3. The ;on' and ;off' transients of the PNR have differing depth profiles in the retina: the ;on' transient is distributed vitreal to the ;off', and both are distributed vitreal to the b-wave.4. As spot diameter is increased, so the amplitude of the PNR decreases, and the threshold rises.5. Ganglion cells fire at ;on' and ;off' during the PNR and like the PNR, are suppressed as spot size is increased.Mesh:
