Zusammenfassung:Retinal ganglion cell activity in the predominantly cone retina of the ground squirrel was studied under conditions of light halothane anesthesia with intensive controls and/or monitors of the animal's physiological state. Maintained dark discharge was comparable to what has been found in other mammalian retina. Only one kind of color opponent retinal ganglion cell—designated the BG-G unit—was found when the preparation was physiologically normotensive. The BG-G units converted into two other forms of color opponents when the preparation's blood pressure became hypotensive. The change was reversible.
