Abstract
Flash-evoked potentials (FEPs) in the cat's optic chiasma and superior colliculus were recorded under the following two conditions: complete darkness and background illumination. Special attention was paid to a specific late component of FEPs and comparison in the behavior of the late component was made between the two conditions. It was found that a late component of FEPs in the optic chiasma appeared in the presence of background illumination while it was not observed under the condition of complete darkness. A corresponding late component of FEPs was detected in the superior colliculus. The late component might be supposed to be driven from a class of W-cells in the cat's retina.
