  • Title: Changes in response waveform of retinal horizontal cells during dark and light adaptation.
    Author: Wu SM.
    Journal: Vision Res; 1987; 27(2):143-50. PubMed ID: 3576975.
    Abstract:
    Changes in response waveform of retinal horizontal cells during dark and light adaptation were examined in the tiger salamander retina. In addition to sensitivity changes, the response waveform of HC was altered during visual adaptation: following bleaching or in the presence of background illumination, a transient depolarizing overshoot was observed at the cessation of the test flash. In contrast to the hyperpolarizing light responses, the depolarizing off-overshoots do not follow the standard threshold recovery time course during dark adaptation, neither do they obey Weber's law for increment thresholds during light adaptation. Simultaneous intracellular recordings from photoreceptors and HC revealed that the off-overshoot responses in light-adapted HC are probably originated from a population of cells in the photoreceptor layer which are strongly coupled with the cones.
