Abstract
Buckser and Potts1 observed the recovery of the rat electroretinogram (ERG) after weak light adaptation, and related this to the visual threshold. Buckser2 proposed a model to relate the recovery of the ERG a-wave after partial light adaptation to the level of the light adaptation. This communication reports the failure of the ERG to recover to the dark adapted ERG after exposure to a brief, high-intensity light flash.
