Adaptation-dependent differences in electroretinographic latency patterns in uniform and variegated horseshoe crabs.

Abstract excerpt

The carapaces of horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus) differ. Some individuals have uniform carapaces and clear eyes while others have variegated carapaces and dark eyes. These differences have been reported to be correlated with latency differences in the electroretinogram (ERG) of the lateral eye. Such a result might have had a neural basis in the mechanisms underlying visual transduction but it could also have...
