Spatial restriction of light adaptation and mutation-induced inactivation in fly photoreceptors.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 1 Apr 1991

Minke B, Payne R

Abstract excerpt

The spatial spread within fly photoreceptors of 2 forms of desensitization by bright light have been investigated: the natural process of light adaptation in normal Musca photoreceptors and a receptor-potential inactivation in the no-steady-state (nss) mutant of the sheep blowfly Lucilia. The suction-electrode method used for recording from vertebrate rods was applied to fly ommatidia. A single ommatidium in...
