Early receptor potential in the human eye.

[Early receptor potential in the human ERG].

The early receptor potential in the human electroretinogram.

The early receptor potential (ERP) of the retina was found by BROWN and MURAKAMI (1964a, b) in the monkey. The ERP has been reported to exist in some other animals and to be closely linked with the initial events of visual excitation (CONE, 1964, 1965; PAK and CONE, 1964; PAK and EBREY, 1965; BROWN, 1965; BROWN, WATANABE and MURAKAMI, 1965; PAK, 1965; ARDEN and IKEDA, 1965, 1966; BRINDLEY and G...

Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) Channels in the Eye

The first member of transient receptor potential (TRP) channel superfamily was discovered in photoreceptors of Drosophila over 30 years ago.1 Since then this protein superfamily has been extensively characterized based on exponential increases in the number of publications related to TRP channels. With 28 TRP homologous genes identified in mammals, TRP channels have been detected in both neural...

Potential and the early human.

Some form of potential or "capacity" is often seen as evidence of human moral status. Opinions differ as to whether the potential of the embryo should be regarded as such evidence. In this paper, I discuss some common arguments against regarding the embryo's potential as a sign of human status, together with some less common arguments in favour of regarding the embryo's potential in this way.

Melatonin MT-1-receptor immunoreactivity in the human eye.

AIM To examine the distribution of melatonin 1a (MT1) receptors in the human eye. METHODS Seven normal human eyes were examined by immunohistochemical staining of paraffin sections, using an anti-MT1 primary antibody and an ABC detection system. RESULTS MT1 receptor immunoreactivity (MT1-IR) was detected primarily in the inner segments of rods and cones and in retinal ganglion cells. In add...
