Abstract
1. When Y‐type cat retinal ganglion cells were driven by cones, the i.v. administration of the GABA‐antagonist picrotoxin failed to alter receptive field centre size. 2. This result is in marked contrast to our previous finding that when Y‐cells were driven by rods, GABA‐antagonists led to specific and reversible changes in centre size. 3. These results taken together suggest that for centre signals of Y‐cells, the rod and cone pathways are pharmacologically distinct.
