Abstract

The dynamic characteristics of the rod response were studied in the bullfrog retina by means of a sinusoidally modulated light stimulus. The gain and phase characteristics at different background light intensities were simulated by a linear model comprizing four cascading RC-filter stages. It was concluded that the rod response becomes faster when the background light intensity is increased and that this change in the frequency characteristics can be expressed quantitatively by the time constant of the RC-filters.
