title: [Electrical activity of the retina].
abstract: The site of origin, propagation, and recording of eye potentials are described. Action potentials of the eye and the mechanism of their origin are briefly characterized. The origin of individual potentials, which produce the individual waves of the action potential in the clinical record, is presented in the literary survey. The characteristics of the human electroretinogram (ERG) are given, factors affecting individual parts of the curve are described and the role of individual layers of the retina in their development is determined. Some characteristic changes in the ERG curve observed at damage of the rods and cones are presented.
