Abstract
It was shown that the positive phototactic response of Rana temporaria was more strongly released by blue light than by any other colour. This responsiveness to blue was independent from changes in the intensity and saturation of the stimulating light. The behaviour is probably mediated by the retinal projection to the diencephalon.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
