Abstract

Intracellular recordings from the dragonfly lamina show that the light initiated hyperpolarising response of large monopolar cells (LMC's) is associated with a resistance decrease. The response reversal potential is at least 40 mV negative to the dark resting potential. The adaptation of the response to a maintained stimulus is associated with a decrease in hyperpolarising input.
