Hyperpolarization Decreases the Maximal Response and Shifts the Contrast Response Curve to the Right

Hyperpolarization of cortical neurons with the intracellular injection of current results in a shift to the right of the contrast response function curve (rightward shift of C50), and a compression of this curve (reduction in Rmax).
