New information about how light energy is changed into neural signals shows how
an individual photoreceptor cell of the eye registers the absorption of a single photon, or quantum of light
Not exact matches
Both unmodified and genetically modified groups were found to have
cells that migrated and survived in two distinct locations: (i) as a separate, nearly continuous, subretinal layer lying between the host RPE and
photoreceptors, and (ii) as
individual cells distributed throughout the neurosensory retina, especially within the inner retinal layers (Figure 5A).
With two - photon fluorescence microscopy Professor Denk could perform two tasks simultaneously: stimulate the
photoreceptors of an isolated rabbit retina by moving a light stimulus over it in one direction, and at the same time, record the fluorescence from the
individual dendrites of starburst amacrine
cells.
