Rod threshold: influence of neighboring cones.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Changes in rod increment threshold at the center of a desensitizing background disc were measured. Sensitization by an annular surround was shown to depend more upon the surround’s effects on cones than on rods. This demonstrates a rod-cone interaction in which the activation of cones in the vicinity of a test flash influences the detection of that flash h.r rods.

Gap-junctional coupling and absolute sensitivity of photoreceptors in macaque retina.
We investigated gap-junctional coupling of rods and cones in macaque retina. Cone voltage responses evoked by light absorption in neighboring rods were briefer and smaller than responses recorded in the rods themselves. Rod detection thresholds, calculated from noise and response amplitude histograms, closely matched the threshold for an ideal detector limited by quantal fluctuations in the sti...
متن کاملEffect of Square Rod Aspect Ratio on Vortex Shedding Downstream the Rod and Heat Transfer Enhancement from the Neighboring Flat Plate
A rectangular rod is placed in a flow field flowing parallel to a flat plate. Effect of chord-thickness ratio of rectangular rod on developing vortex shedding downstream to the rod is studied. Then, for each one of the aspect ratios, the distance of the rod from the neighboring flat plate is reduced until the rod sticks to the flat plate. In each case, the effect of the flat plate boundary laye...

متن کاملThe photovoltage of macaque cone photoreceptors: adaptation, noise, and kinetics.
Whole-cell voltage and current recordings were obtained from red and green cone photoreceptors in isolated retina from macaque monkey. It was demonstrated previously that the cone photovoltage is generated from two sources, phototransduction current in the cone outer segment and photocurrent from neighboring rods. Rod signals are likely transmitted to cones across the gap junctions between rods...
متن کاملColor assimilation and contrast near absolute threshold
Simultaneous Contrast and Assimilation test targets are almost always viewed at high light levels. We measured the appearances of Simultaneous Contrast, Assimilation and other spatial surrounds near absolute rod threshold. Given the very different spatial organizations of receptive fields in rod and cone vision at detection threshold, it is not obvious that these familiar cone-vision spatial ef...
