| Popis: | The early receptor potential (ERP) was measured in four normal subjects and in nine subjects with loss of rod and/or cone function caused by hereditary retinal defects. The ERP amplitudes of these subjects with retinal defects are decreased compared to the normals. The response amplitudes of the subjects with retinal detects indicate that the rods account for 20–40 per cent of the normal human ERP and the cones account for the remainder of the response. These estimates are consistent with estimates of the rod and cone contributions to the ERP derived from ERP recovery rates in normals and from the ERP action spectrum of the rhesus monkey. |
