Photoreceptor coupling and boundary detection
Electrical coupling between photoreceptors results in the extensive spreading of output potentials along the syncytium of photoreceptor terminals. This smoothing of output potentials seems to make spatial resolution worse. However, the photoreceptor noise that is considered to be non-correlated both in space and time is smoothed to the greater extent than the correlated potential difference acr...
متن کاملElectrical coupling of neuro-ommatidial photoreceptor cells in the blowfly.
A new method of microstimulation of the blowfly eye using corneal neutralization was applied to the 6 peripheral photoreceptor cells (R1-R6) connected to one neuro-ommatidium (and thus looking into the same direction), whilst the receptor potential of a dark-adapted photoreceptor cell was recorded by means of an intracellular microelectrode. Stimulation of the photoreceptor cells not impaled el...
متن کاملPhotoreceptor coupling mediated by connexin36 in the primate retina.
Photoreceptors are coupled via gap junctions in many mammalian species. Cone-to-cone coupling is thought to improve sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio, while rod-to-cone coupling provides an alternative rod pathway active under twilight or mesopic conditions (Smith et al., 1986; DeVries et al., 2002; Hornstein et al., 2005). Gap junctions are composed of connexins, and connexin36 (Cx36), the...
متن کاملon the coupling of finite and boundary element methods for the helmholtz equation
finite and boundary element methods have been used by many authors to solve mathematicalphysics problems. however, the coupling of these two methods happens to be more efficient as it combinestheir merits. in this paper, the mathematical analysis of the coupling of finite and boundary element methodsfor the helmholtz equation is presented.
متن کاملCoupling grain boundary motion to shear deformation
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations confirm that normal grain boundary (GB) motion must often be coupled to tangential translation of grains and will then produce shear deformation of the lattice traversed by the GB. Conversely, shear stresses applied to a GB can induce its normal motion. Using [001] symmetrical tilt GBs in copper as a model, the coupling factor b between the GB motion and grai...
