Light adaptation in salamander L-cone photoreceptors.
The responses of individual salamander L-cones to light steps of moderate intensity (bleaching 0.3-3% of the total photopigment) and duration (between 5 and 90 s) were recorded using suction electrodes. Light initially suppressed the circulating current, which partially recovered or "sagged" over several seconds. The sensitivity of the cone to dim flashes decreased rapidly after light onset and...
متن کاملLight-driven calcium signals in mouse cone photoreceptors.
Calcium mediates various neuronal functions. The complexity of neuronal Ca²⁺ signaling is well exemplified by retinal cone photoreceptors, which, with their distinct compartmentalization, offer unique possibilities for studying the diversity of Ca²⁺ functions in a single cell. Measuring subcellular Ca²⁺ signals in cones under physiological conditions is not only fundamental for understanding co...
متن کاملMouse cone arrestin expression pattern: light induced translocation in cone photoreceptors.
PURPOSE Arrestins are a superfamily of regulatory proteins that down-regulate activated and phosphorylated G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Cone arrestin (CAR) is expressed in cone photoreceptors and pinealocytes and may contribute to the shutoff mechanisms associtated with high acuity color vision. To initiate a study of CAR's function in cone phototransduction, the mouse CAR (mCAR) transc...
متن کاملStructure of cone photoreceptors.
Although outnumbered more than 20:1 by rod photoreceptors, cone cells in the human retina mediate daylight vision and are critical for visual acuity and color discrimination. A variety of human diseases are characterized by a progressive loss of cone photoreceptors but the low abundance of cones and the absence of a macula in non-primate mammalian retinas have made it difficult to investigate c...
متن کاملLight adaptation and photopigment bleaching in cone photoreceptors in situ in the retina of the turtle.
Light adaptation and photopigment bleaching in cone photoreceptors were studied in the intact, superfused retina of the turtle (Pseudemys scripta elegans). A new method for measuring changes in the photopigment of cones is described. Action spectrum measurements indicate that the signals arise from the red-sensitive cones. Measurements of steady-state bleaching are well described by the monomol...
