The vertebrate retina is a tissue that provides unique experimental advantages to neuroscientists. Photoreceptor neurons are abundant in this tissue and they are readily identifiable and easily isolated. These features make them an outstanding model for studying neuronal mechanisms of signal transduction, adaptation, synaptic transmission, development, differentiation, diseases and regeneration. Thanks to recent advances in genetic analysis, it also is possible to link biochemical and physiological investigations to understand the molecular mechanisms of vertebrate photoreceptors within a functioning retina in a living animal..Photoreceptors are the most deeply studied sensory receptor cells, but readers will find that many important questions remain. We still do not know how photoreceptors, visual pigments and their signaling pathways evolved, how they were generatedand how they are maintained. This book will make clear what is known and what is not known. The chapters are selected from fields of studies that have contributed to a broad understanding of the birth, develop | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | 关键词 | Light adaptation; Phototransduction; Pineal organs; Retina; Visual cycle; Visual pigments; Model vertebrat | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-54880-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-4-431-56335-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-4-431-54880-5 | copyright | Springer Japan 2014 |
