Evaluation of different recording parameters to establish a standard for flash electroretinography in rodents.

abstract：:In this work we report on a unique and ancient type of eye, in which the lower surface of the upper calcite lens units possessed an enigmatic central bulge making the dioptric apparatus similar to a bifocal lens. This eye belonged to the trilobite Dalmanitina socialis, which became extinct several hundred million year...

Somehow, our visual system can form two- and three-dimensional percepts solely from one-dimensional contour information.
