Speeding rod recovery improves temporal resolution in the retina
The temporal resolution of the visual system progressively increases with light intensity. Under scotopic conditions, temporal resolution is relatively poor, and may be limited by both retinal and cortical processes. Rod photoresponses themselves are quite slow because of the slowly deactivating biochemical cascade needed for light transduction. Here, we have used a transgenic mouse line with f...
متن کاملRiluzole improves functional recovery after ischemia in the rat retina.
PURPOSE Retinal ischemia leads to neuronal death. The effects of riluzole, a drug that protects against the deleterious effect of cerebral ischemia by acting on several types of ion channels and blocking glutamatergic neurotransmission, were investigated in a rat model of retinal ischemic injury. METHODS Retinal ischemia was induced by increasing intraocular pressure above systolic blood pres...
متن کاملTemporal analysis of electroretinographic responses in fishes with rod-dominated and mixed rod-cone retina.
Photoreceptor content of fish retinas could be accessed by comparative electroretinographic (ERG) studies using flickering light stimuli that could separate rod-mediated vision where critical flicker frequency (CFF, frequency when the eye loses its ability to resolve individual light pulses) is usually less than 15 Hz from cone-mediated vision. Four fish species inhabiting different photic envi...
متن کاملRecoverin Improves Rod-Mediated Vision by Enhancing Signal Transmission in the Mouse Retina
Vision in dim light requires that photons absorbed by rod photoreceptors evoke signals that reliably propagate through the retina. We investigated how a perturbation in rod physiology affects propagation of those signals in the retina and ultimately visual sensitivity. Recoverin is a protein in rods that prolongs phototransduction and enhances visual sensitivity. It is not present in neurons po...
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...
