80 SJ Fliesler and R E. Anderson stimulus (light) is well-defined and easily controlled.
Second, the stimulus is received by visual pigments which reside in specialized
membranous structures in the first-order neurons (photoreceptor cells). Much is known about
the chemistry of these visual pigments and their involvement in the response of the
photoreceptor cells to absorption of photons. Third, the organization of the retina has been
studied extensively, beginning with the pioneering work of Cajal, 2 and more is known about …
