  • Title: RESPIRATORY AND ELECTRICAL RESPONSES TO LIGHT SIMULATION IN THE RETINA OF THE FROG.
    Author: SICKEL W.
    Journal: Science; 1965 Apr 30; 148(3670):648-51. PubMed ID: 14268730.
    Abstract:
    Isolated retinas from frogs' eyes were preserved in a circulating medium; transretinal electrical potential and ultraviolet absorbancy were monitored. In response to visible stimulation, changes in absorbancy were observed which correlate with the c-wave of the electroretinogram. They are tentatively identified as cyclic oxidations of pyridine nucleotides reflecting the energy expenditure associated with evoked neuronal activity.
