  • Title: Electrical activities of a type of electroretinogram recorded from the ocellus of a jellyfish, Polyorchis penicillatus (Hydromedusae).
    Author: Weber C.
    Journal: J Exp Zool; 1982 Nov 01; 223(3):231-43. PubMed ID: 6129281.
    Abstract:
    An electroretinogram (ERG), evoked by light stimuli, was recorded from ocelli of Polyorchis penicillatus (Hydromedusae). The ERG is a polyphasic response with a positive potential change at the onset of illumination followed by a slower biphasic pulse, and a positive deflection at the cessation of illumination which is followed by a series of high-frequency pulses. The most striking features of the initial pulse are its latency-log intensity relation and the gradation of pulse amplitude with respect to the intensity of the light stimulus and to different wavelengths. Maximum spectral sensitivity lies around 530 nm. Response patterns induced by shadowing and repeated stimulation of light- and dark-adapted ocelli are described. Morphological structures which could give rise to the mass response of the ocellus are discussed.
