[Tectal Evoked Potentials during Retinal Baclofen Application in the Carp].

Abstract

Changes of primary visual center evoked potentials in response to white light and optic nerve electric stimulation were investigated during retinal GABAb-receptors activation with baclofen in dark-adapted carp. It was found, that baclofen - induced b-wave ERG decreasing, was accompanied by a significant amplitude growing as in the evoked potential to light as in the evoked potential to electric nerve stimulation: It is proposed, that light evoked potential changes reflect the increasing of the third retinal neuron responses to light and/or tectal neuron responsiveness enhancement.
