Abstract
The effects of light-deprication on light flux discrimination by adult rats were tested by a conditioned lick-suppression technique. Total binocular light-deprication for a period of 37-38 days leads to decreased discrimination of the CS (a reduction of 0.64 log units in illumination) by adult rats. The argument is made that these data indicate sensory deficit in the adult animals resulting from binocular light-deprivation.
