Summary
Binocular Electroretinography in man shows that the elective light-stimulation of one retina produces a normal Electroretinogramm at the stimulated, ipsilateral eye, furthermore a bioelectric consensual response at the contralateral eye. This latter response consists in a positive deflection, corresponding to increased electropositivity under the corneal electrode. A close synchronism exists between the consensual response and the secondary rise (c-potential) of the ipsilateral Electroretinogramm. The consensual response does not appear to be of pupillary or oculomotor origin, but can probably be identified with thec-potential, the significance of which will have to bee reexamined, as well as the problem of the efferent innervation of the retina.
