Abstract
Electrical stimulation of the centrifugal fibers to the avian retina can disturb the balance between the excitatory and inhibitory system within the receptive fields of individual retinal ganglion cells. Although the mechanisms may vary from one unit to another, the effect is always to make them fire more readily and to a wider range of visual inputs.Keywords
