In rats anesthetized with urethane, potentials of 108 neurons were recorded extracellularly in the dorsal part of the lateral geniculate body (dLGB). Neuronal responses to diffuse light stimuli were studied before and during the iontophoretic application of acetylcholine (ACh). Although individual cells of all groups of functionally different neuron types could be influenced by ACh, responses to flashes were most pronounced and uniformly enhanced in the groups of SLOW ON-like cells located in the dorsolateral and caudal parts of the dLGB. The activity in primary response phases to light flashes increased also in caudally located SLOW OFF-like cells. In the group of ventromedially located FAST OFF-like cells the postinhibitory offdischarge in the response to flash was significantly augmented. Only few cells of FAST ON-like groups were affected and some of them inhibited by ACh. off
