Abstract excerpt

A critical factor in visual function is the speed with which photoreceptors (PRs) return to the resting state when light intensity dims. Several elements subserve this process, many of which promote the termination of the phototransduction cascade. Although the known elements are intrinsic to PRs, we have found that prompt restoration to the resting state of the Drosophila electroretinogram can require effective...
