Electrophysiological characteristics of retinal neurones: synaptic interactions and functional outputs

  • Chapter
Book cover The Visual System of Fish

Abstract

Aquatic habitats are extremely diverse, ranging from deep seas, where hardly any light might be available for vision, to shallow waters, where a wide variety of visual cues would normally be found. Even within a restricted aquatic environment, properties of the light stimulus may change markedly in space and time, thereby making a considerable demand on the functioning of the visual system to remain constantly efficient. Retinal neurones of fish (in common with those of other vertebrates) extract visual information from the optical image focused on the retina. It is not certain that all the available information is used, but presumably at least that portion essential to the animals’ behaviour and ecology would be extracted and processed.
