I t has been known for many years that the visual cells and retinal pigment of most fishes, amphibians and birds undergo marked changes of position that are correlated with light and darkness (Arey, '15; '16a; '16b). In the frog, for example, these movements are definite. The pigment granules shift
The typical vertebrate electroretinogram obtained upon illumination of the eye is a complex polyphasic wave. After a short latent period there appears a small deflection (a-wave)2 indicating a condition of negativity of the posterior portion of the eyeball. This is then followed by a rapid positive
Visual processing areas cover more than 50% of the cortex in primates, but in humans only about half of this area is projected on gyral crests and thus readily accessible to investigation by evoked potential mapping. However, neuromagnetometry does not reflect the activity of these radial dipoles, b
