背景情况:
- 在哺乳动物视网膜中,AII-亚马克林细胞 (AIIs) 对于视野 (夜间) 视觉至关重要.
- 与杆主导物种相比,它们在主导物种中的作用,如十三线地松鼠 (TLGS),理解程度较低.
研究的目的:
- 研究AIIs的形态和功能以及在形主导的TLGS视网膜中的棒通路.
- 为了比较TLGS中的AIIs的结构和功能与杆主导物种中的AIIs的结构和功能.
主要方法:
- 免疫组织化学用于识别AIIs (calretinin阳性) 和它们的连接 (Connexin36用于间隙连接).
- 电生理学方法,包括单个光感应器记录和全场电网红图 (ERG).
主要成果:

The Retina
78.7K
The retina is a layer of nervous tissue at the back of the eye that transduces light into neural signals. This process, called phototransduction, is carried out by rod and cone photoreceptor cells in the back of the retina.

Channel Rhodopsins
3.5K
Most organisms use photoreceptors to sense and respond to light. Examples of photoreceptors include bacteriorhodopsins and bacteriophytochromes in some bacteria, phytochromes in plants, and rhodopsins in the photoreceptor cells of the vertebral retina. The light-sensitive property of these receptors is because of the bound chromophores, such as bilin in the phytochromes and retinal in the rhodopsins.
Rhodopsins belong to the family of cell surface proteins called G-protein coupled receptors,...

Anatomy of the Eyeball
11.8K
The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle...

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways
11.1K
At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category,...
