Electrical properties of the rod syncytium in the retina of the turtle.
1. Intracellular responses were recorded from rods in isolated eye-cups of the snapping turtle. Chelydra serpentina. Responses to flashes of small (less than 100 mum diameter) and large (1000 mum diameter) spots of 500 nm light were studied. 2. Responses produced by small and large diameter spots which delivered less than 0-3 photons mum-2 had the same shape. The responses produced by large spo...
متن کاملRod-cone convergence in the retina
There is a swahili adage that says: Mtu ni watu. In English this translates to A person is people. I am because there have been so many people that have invested in me. This thesis is dedicated to my immediate family, my extended family, friends, life group and work colleagues. To my father, Mr. Joshua Muchungi, though you be not with us, thank you for blessing me. I do feel your support and pr...
متن کاملTransmission of scotopic signals from the rod to rod-bipolar cell in the mammalian retina
Mammals can see at low scotopic light levels where only 1 rod in several thousand transduces a photon. The single photon signal is transmitted to the brain by the ganglion cell, which collects signals from more than 1000 rods to provide enough amplification. If the system were linear, such convergence would increase the neural noise enough to overwhelm the tiny rod signal. Recent studies provid...

متن کاملGlutamate receptors in the rod pathway of the mammalian retina.
Rod bipolar (RB) cells of the mammalian retina release glutamate in a graded, light-dependent fashion from 20 to 40 ribbon synapses (dyads). At the dyads, two classes of amacrine cells, the AI and AII cells, are the postsynaptic partners. We examined the glutamate receptors (GluRs) that are expressed by AI and AII cells using immunocytochemistry with specific antibodies against GluR subunits. S...
