Abstract

An overview of electroretinogram response components to incremental and decremental steps in L- and M-cone excitation was obtained in human observers, while varying the spatial properties of the stimulus. Responses to L- and M-cone stimuli of opposite polarity resembled each other, particularly within the central 35° of the retina. All amplitudes grew as stimulus size increased; however, earlier and later components of the On- and Off-responses showed differing degrees of dependency on stimulus size. Thus, they may reflect different proportions of responses originating in parvocellular (less stimulus size-dependent) and magnocellular (more stimulus size-dependent) streams.
