Abstract
Generation of a transient, amplified response to the dimming of light in the visual system of the barnacle involves 2 synaptic stages. It is accomplished primarily by decrementally conducting neurons that are similar to bipolar cells of the vertebrate retina.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
