The existence in the optic nerve of fibers that convey efferent impulses from the higher centers to the retina has been a matter of interest and discussion for many years. Histological evidence for these fibers and for the retinal cellular components of such an efferent system has been provided by Dogie1,l Cajal,2 J o h n ~ t o n , ~ and P01yak.~ Physiological evidence has been noted by are^,^ who discussed the influence of such elements on retinal light and dark adaptation. The importance of such a system in dark adaptation has been mentioned by Pfeifer.6 Monakow,’ as a result of animal experiments, described the existence of a centrifugal pathway. More recently, Polyak,8 in discussing “the mechanisms of facilitation or inhibition,” states: l1 A structural arrangement whose function seems to be an interference with the synapses between other neurons is exemplified by the horizontal and centrifugal bipolars of the retina . . . the undoubted anatomical relationship mentioned demands an acceptance of some kind of influencing [by the horizontal cells], most likely of the photoreceptor-bipolar relationship.” He then infers that these anatomical findings may represent a mechanism for inhibition of rod and cone function, either due to change in threshold or for differential blocking of rods in daylight vision. The centrifugal bipolar cells are considered capable of influencing cone-afferent bipolar transmission. Granitg has been able to inhibit and facilitate spontaneous and evoked retinal potentials by electrical stimulation of the mesencephalic reticular substance, and he considers this to be evidence of centrifugal fibers. WalterlO has demonstrated efferent fibers terminating in retinal blood vessels. Motokawa and Ebe” have demonstrated that antidromic stimulation of the optic nerve depresses the sensitivity of the retina, and they point out that the electrical response of the retina is dependent on the general condition of the animal. HartlineI2 has demonstrated antidromic inhibition in the eye of Limdzcs. Barany and Hallden13 showed that central nervous system depressants (alcohol and barbiturates) affect retinal interrelationships. Dodt14 found that he could evoke a delayed retinal spike by shocking the contralateral optic tract of a rabbit. He believes this is evidence for the existence of a true centrifugal function.
