ADAPTATION OF MAMMALIAN PHOTORECEPTORS TO BACKGROUND LIGHT: PUTATIVE ROLE FOR DIRECT MODULATION OF PHOSPHODIESTERASE

All sensory receptors adapt. As the mean level of light or sound or odor is altered, the sensitivity of the receptor is adjusted to permit the cell to function over as wide a range of ambient stimulation as possible. In a rod photoreceptor, adaptation to maintained background light produces a decrea...
