Abstract

Aramite was injected to white mice and the electroretinograms recorded in response to electronic flashes. The following phenomena were remarked: a more and more important flattening of a-waves; a simultaneous collapse of b-waves; a more and more delayed return of a-waves to the isoelectric line; vanishing c-waves. Those actions were explained by an intoxication of the photoreceptors by Aramite and by a resulting difficulty of the photoreceptors to stimulate bipolar cells.
