The photoreceptors in the achromat ... Rod visual fields in cone-rod degeneration. Comparison to retinitis pigmentosa. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 1990;31:2288–99. Miyake Y, Shiroyama N, Sugita ...
In animals, including humans, photoreceptors (light-sensing cells) called rods and cones are located in the retina, a tissue layer at the back of the eye that responds to light. The rods and cones ...
In wild-type, retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner nuclear layer (INL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), and nuclear layers of rod and cone photoreceptors are distinct, and rod outer segment (OS ...
Within rods and cone photoreceptors, a small soluble molecule called cGMP links photon absorption to the electrical activity of the photoreceptor. In the light, cGMP is destroyed and ion channels ...
