Abstract: | Summary Electroretinogram recorded from the median eye of the scorpion, Heterometrus fulvipes before and after exposure to CO2 indicated that the rate of recovery of b wave to pre-CO2 level was slow and delayed as compared to a wave. b wave may therefore have a more central origin than that of a wave, which finds corroboration in the results of the depth recording in this eye with the microelectrode.The equipment was a gift from USAFOSR to Prof. T. H. Bullock and Prof. K. P. Rao, and the work was carried out at the Department of Zoology, Bangalore University. I thank Dr R. V. Krishnamoorthy and Dr A. R. Kasturi Bai. |
