Abstract
Light adapting the rat retina with transient white flashes too dim to bleach a substantial amount of visual pigment produces a change in electroretinogram spectral sensitivity and an increase in flicker fusion frequency. Increment threshold curves obtained with a long wavelength adapting stimulus and a short wavelength test stimulus show rod saturation.Keywords
