Temperature-Dependent Linearization Techniques in the Retinal Response to Light

摘要

The sinusoidal response of the frog’s retina to light is examined at a function of temperature. With falling temperatures, the harmonic distortion of the output is reduced leading to a more linear response. The data is discussed in terms of retinal rectification. This data underscores the need to control accurately the temperature of the preparation when doing electroretinography in poikilotherm
