title: Survival of cone responses in postmortem human retina.
abstract: A cone-mediated electroretinogram was recordable from human retinas 17-18 hours postmortem, after regeneration of visual pigments by application of 11-cis and 9-cis retinal. The cone was separated from the rod component by stimulation with flickering red light. In addition to these neuronal responses, a P2 and a slow P3 were present.
