Summary

The conduction velocity of the unmyelinated portion of the optic nerve fibres within the cat's retina was measured by shifting a microelectrode from the blind spot outwards and stimulating antidromically in the lateral geniculate body. The mean conduction velocities were 2.8 m/s for the fast, and 1.7 m/s for the slow group of optic nerve fibres, as compared with maxima of 70 and 23 m/s respectively for the same groups in the myelinated extrabulbar portion.
