Abstract
Type A photorecptors can produce an initial hyperpolarizing wave followed by a delayed long-lasting increase in firing which is usually accompanied by a small depolarizing wave. The initial hyperpolarizing wave arises from an increase in conductance while the depolarizing wave was shown to arise from a decrease in conductance. The data presented indicate that both effects produced by the type A photoreceptors in ipsilateral hair cells are synaptic.
