Vision: Microcircuits Rage against the Dimming of the Light

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

At sundown when light levels fall, rod photoreceptors take the night shift from the daylight-sensitive cones and a specialized mammalian microcircuit ‘wires’ the rods into the ancestral cone pathway. A recent study combines serial electron microscopy and simultaneous patch clamp recordings to shed light on this microcircuit in unprecedented detail. At sundown when light levels fall, rod photoreceptors take the night shift from the daylight-sensitive cones and a specialized mammalian microcircuit ‘wires’ the rods into the ancestral cone pathway. A recent study combines serial electron microscopy and simultaneous patch clamp recordings to shed light on this microcircuit in unprecedented detail.
