Abstract

1. 1. Intracellular recordings of luminosity horizontal cell responses were made from retinas isolated from carp ( Cyprinus carpio) acclimated for at least three weeks to temperatures of 8, 16 and 26°C. 2. 2. Changing the temperature of the isolated retina resulted in an increase in the rate of rise and fall phases of horizontal responses and a reduction of response latency as temperature increased. 3. 3. The maximum amplitudes ( V max) of horizontal cell responses were reduced for low and high temperatures with a small, intermediate range over which the largest values of V max were recorded. 4. 4. The range of temperatures for which V max was maximum was found to be dependent on the temperature of acclimation in an adaptive manner.
