Ganglionic cells are first cell to develop an action potential in the visual transduction. Describe the effect of light in pigments inside rods, how light affects the polarization of photoreceptors, and how that affects bipolar cells and ganglionic cells.

Solutions

Expert Solution

*Rods and cones synapse to ganglion cells where mixing of information from rods and cones; cones and cones;rods and rods occurs.

*Two types of ganglion cells are present- on type and off type .

On type activates when light is on and off type activates when light is off.
