TLDR
An electrical response (hyperpolarization to light) was recorded intracellularly from rod outer segments in the isolated frog retina and the spectral sensitivity curve calculated from the spectral response and from the intensity-amplitude relation agrees with the absorption spectrum of the rod pigment.About:

Transmission along and between rods in the tiger salamander retina.
TL;DR: The electrical pathways that couple the rods and that link the outer segments of the rods to the coupled network, were evaluated, suggesting that there is little or no measurable light elicited conductance change associated with the response, possibly a consequence of coupling between rods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity of toad rods: Dependence on wave‐length and background illumination.
TL;DR: A comparison of the increment‐‐sensitivity curves of single receptors shows that rods are light‐adapted by backgrounds one thousand times dimmer than those which affect cones, so that single cones become more sensitive than single rods even before the rods begin to saturate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Action of glutamate and aspartate analogues on rod horizontal and bipolar cells
TL;DR: The evidence presented here suggest that the widely held view that glutamate or aspartate is the rod neurotransmitter needs to be re-examined and several compounds, chemically related to the amino acids aspartates and glutamate, have similar post-synaptic actions to that of the rod transmitter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrical activity of vertebrate photoreceptors.
TL;DR: The shape of the outer segments in which the photosensitive pigment molecules are contained in the vertebrate retina has been known since the time of Schultze (1866) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Neurons involved in the transfer of rod signals to the ganglion cells in the retina of the cat have been recorded from and stained with horseradish peroxidase and their synaptic connections determined by electron microscopy.

TL;DR: The intracellularly recorded response characteristics of each type of neuron in a vertebrate retina are described, and the response of each neuron to the responses of those neurons to which it is synaptically coupled are related.

TL;DR: Histological sections of the retina made after injection of dye through the recording electrode reveal dye in the inner segments of single cones in the retina of the turtle.

TL;DR: The small size and number of cones in frog retinas probably makes the total relative contribution of cone pigment molecules too small for successful spectroscopic studies in extracts.

TL;DR: The spatial distribution of membrane current of the rods of the rat retina is studied by an improved method using arrays of extracellular microelectrodes inserted in the receptor layer under direct vision by infrared microscopy.
