Abstract
Memory responses of the optomotor system to rotations of various stripe patterns were studied. The separate elements of the visual background are individually remembered in terms of the parts of the eye on which their images fell. A visual illusion resulting from this property is described.
All parts of the retina have an equal capacity to contribute to memory. The memory response results from the summation of contributions from individual elements rather than the maintenance of a fixation upon any particular feature of the situation. Both the separation between background elements for angles from 6Β° up to 60Β° and the number of elements present affect the size of the memory evoked response.

## Abstract Amphibians are unusual among vertebrates in having two spectral classes of rod photoreceptors, unique amphibian βgreenβ rods and typical vertebrate βredβ rods. Although amphibians have been the subject of extensive research on visual function, it is not known whether possession of two c
Early hippocampal injury in humans has been found to result in a limited form of global anterograde amnesia. At issue is whether the limitation is qualitative, with the amnesia reflecting substantially greater impairment in episodic than in semantic memory, or only quantitative, with both episodic a
Data on the functional organization of the nervous system of gastropods are fragmentary and scattered. The anatomy of the synapses between neurons in these forms is uncertain, and histological techniques have been inadequate to demonstrate continuity of neuron chains. Moreover, such techniques as ap
To accumulate phylogenetic information on the central histaminergic system, we investigated the histaminergic system in the brain of a teleost, the jack mackerel (Trachurus trachurus), using the indirect immunofluorescent method with antiserum against histamine. A small number of histamine-immunorea
