title: Recording of single unit activity in isolated central nervous tissue.
abstract: The retina and attached segment of optic nerve isolated from the rabbit were maintained in a functioning state in vitro. Microelectrodes, introduced into the nerve, recorded unit discharges in response to light stimuli. The characteristics of these evoked discharges are described.
