Abstract
Compared single and summed visually evoked cortical responses (VERs) of 6 male albino and 6 male ocularly pigmented guinea pigs before and after monocular enucleation. Prior to enucleation the VER was characterized by appearance of an early negative component. This early surface negativity may be the result of a class of fast-conducting fibers that terminate in upper cortical layers. The VERs recorded following enucleation of a single eye indicate there are few ipsilateral optic fibers in the guinea pig. Strains were compared, but differences were not apparent. (18 ref.)
