TL;DR
The present investigation, made in acute preparations, includes a study of receptive fields of cells in the cat's striate cortex, which resembled retinal ganglion-cell receptive fields, but the shape and arrangement of excitatory and inhibitory areas differed strikingly from the concentric pattern found in retinalganglion cells.

A method for unit recording from the cortex of unanaesthetized, unrestrained cats is described, some observations from the striate cortex are presented, and the objectives have been to observe maintained unit activity under various conditions such as sleep and wakefulness.

Methods for stereotaxic depth recordings in the unanaesthetized unrestrained animal were developed in order to make cortical and depth studies under similar conditions and make it possible to record from single units from virtually any part of the brain of the freely moving animal.

The present article is the first of a series of papers designed to describe results obtained by recording the electrical activity of elements in the lumbar region of the spinal cord of cats by means of intracellular micropipettes by identifying somatic or axonal origin of the recorded potentials.
Journal of the Optical Society of AmericaA Multibeam Ophthalmoscope for the Study of Retinal Physiology*
38 Citations1952Samuel A. Talbot, Stephen W. Kuffler
An ophthalmoscope is described for electrophysiological research on the retina, providing measured adaptive and stimulating parameters over the photopic range, sufficient to study intensity, color, timing, and spatial interaction in the retinal mechanisms.
