TL;DR
The application of micro-electrode techniques to the solution of fundamental problems concerning the electroretinogram has met with several problems; one of these is the difficulty of relating e.r. components, as recorded by conventional methods, with the potentials recorded by an intraretinal lead.

Structures generating the various components of the electroretinogram are still not clearly identified and this problem must be solved before the significance of the e.r.g. in the visual process can be understood and before it can be accurately interpreted as a tool for visual research or clinical diagnosis.

The present authors have given a preliminary report on intraretinal recording with micropipette electrodes in the intact cat eye (Brown & Wiesel, 1958), and the techniques will be described fully in this paper.

The present investigation of the electrical properties of the frog's eye relates only to current flowing radially in the eye, and reveals a structure of high radial resistance and capacity and small thickness, here referred to as the 'R membrane', which suggests a new interpretation of the effects of steady polarizing currents on the electroretinogram.

It is indicated that for intermediate (45°) areas, a double-peaked b-wave is elicited which is believed to reflect activity aroused separately by image and stray light stimulus components.

79 Citations1961Kenneth T. Brown, Kazuyo Tasaki
Physiological methods of electrode localization, developed by Brown & Wiesel (1959) in the retina of the intact cat eye, appear to be very accurate and have been used to localize many types of electrical activity within the retina.

The results obtained from the excised opened eye of the frog support the conclusion of Brown and Wiesel, and some of the conflicting evidence concerning the origin of the E R G obtained with microelectrodes can be resolved in terms of this factor.

The intraretinal action potentials (EIRG's) were recorded with superfine electrodes (less than 1μ) located at different depths in the retina, implicating a main origin of all the fast components of the ERG in this layer.

The present experiments on opened excised eyes of the frog strongly support the conclusions of Fry & Bartley and of Boynton & Riggs, and show that the electroretinographic responses to illumination of different areas of the retina are to a close approximation simply additive.

A KCl-filled microelectrode was inserted into toad's inverted retina to record slow potentials to microillumination or to even illumination, and it was suggested that the pigment epithelium contributes to the c-wave of ERG.
