Photoreceptor Ion Channels in Signaling and Disease
Abstract
Photoreceptors (PRs) in the neural retina convert photon capture into an electrical signal that is communicated across a chemical synapse to second-order neurons in the retina and on through the rest of the visual pathway. This information is decoded in the visual cortex to create images. The activity of PRs depends on the concerted action of several voltage-gated ion channels that will be discussed in this chapter.
