Abstract excerpt
Photoreceptor outer segments (OS) shorten and elongate in response to bleaching stimuli: these responses are measurable optically at nanometer scale resolution with OCT and collectively known as the optoretinogram (ORG). The molecular mechanisms underlying the ORG remain unresolved. Here we examine the role of G-protein in cone elongation by measuring ORGs in two female subjects with bradyopsia caused by mutation...
