Responses of retinal ganglion cells to eyeball deformation: A neurophysiological basis for “pressure phosphenes”

By means of microelectrodes, the activity of single neurons (on-center, off-center ganglion cells, latency class I and class II neurons) was recorded from the optic tract of anesthetized cats. Eyeball deformation in total darkness led fairly consistently to an activation of the on-center ganglion ce...
