The synaptic organization of inhibitory systems in the pigeon's optic tectum was studied with intracellular recording techniques. An extrapolation procedure based on response latency was used to determine the synaptic delay of the postsynaptic potentials (PSPs) and the velocity of conduction of the associated retinal axons. Tectal cells receive mostly disynaptic, trisynaptic or polysynaptic inhibition from retinal ganglion cells. However, evidence was found which together with previous studies raised the possibility of the existence of a direct inhibitory retino-tectal path. Our present results also suggest that inhibition is transmitted from the retina to the tectal cells by way of both, feedforward and feedback pathways.
