COMPARATIVE NEUROPHYSIOLOGY OF THE VISUAL SYSTEM.

Abstract

The following themes have been investigated under the research on Comparative Neurophysiology of the Visual System: (1) Peripheral inhibition of flashing in fireflies (Brunelli, Buonamici and Magni, in part with the collaboration of Viola, Istituto di Patologia Generale, University of Pisa). (2) Modulation of the retinal dark discharge from the pigeon eye's (Brunelli, Buonamici and Magni). (3) Spatial interaction in the visual system (Cervetto and Maffei; Fiorentini and Maffei; Maffei). (4) Sympathetic influences on the retinal dark discharge (Berlucchi, Marzi and Mascetti). (5) Visuo-cortical lesions and interhemispheric transfer of visual information (Berlucchi and Mascetti). (6) Role of visual cortex and midbrain in visual learning and memory (Berlucchi and Sprague: in collaboration with the Department of Anatomy of the University of Pennsylvania). (Author)
