Summary The bilateral representation of the retina on the visual cortex was investigated by analysing the amplitude, latency and topic distribution of the potentials evoked in the visual cortex by monocular photic stimulation of the retina in the conscious rabbit. The amplitudes of the potentials evoked on both ipsi- and contralateral hemispheres, show a relation 1:4. A small field for bilateral retinal projection of the retina was mapped in the anterolateral part of the visual cortex. These differences in amplitude, latency and topic distribution may be significant for stereoscopic vision.
