Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The leading edge of the rod a-wave in normal human subjects can be fit with a computational model of the activation phase of transduction to provide parameters analogous to those obtained from individual photoreceptors. The authors extend this work to the kinetics of recovery after satur...
