It is argued that "The significance of antidromic potentiation and induced activity in the retina" (the title of this article) concerns two identical effects and that both are the outward sign of the existence of a specific organization in the retina. For this reason they can serve as a valuable criterion for identifying activity in this organization. This activity is assumed to be in the nature of a self-excitation by positive feedback in the amacrine circuits of certain Y-cells. Relevant literature has been reviewed. These Y-cells, whose spectral response curve is of the dominator type, play a prominent role in stimulation by intermittent light and in the perception of luminosity. Several properties of intermittent stimulation are mentioned and held to motivate a renewal of the attention of visual experimenters to 'flicker' and its after-effects.
有人认为，“视网膜中逆向增强和诱发活动的意义”（本文标题）涉及两种相同的效应，且二者均为视网膜中特定组织存在的外在标志。因此，它们可作为识别该组织活动的重要标准。这种活动被认为具有某些Y细胞无长突细胞回路中通过正反馈进行自我兴奋的性质。已对相关文献进行了综述。这些光谱响应曲线为支配型的Y细胞，在间歇光刺激和亮度感知中起着重要作用。文中提到了间歇刺激的几个特性，并认为这些特性促使视觉实验者重新关注“闪烁”及其后效应。
