Mammalian vision: rods are a bargain.
Warrant, Eric LU
(2009)
In Current Biology
19(2).
p.69-71
- Abstract
- To maintain resting potentials in darkness, rod and cone photoreceptors incur a significant energy cost. But in brighter light, rods become energetically 'cheaper' than cones, which might explain the evolution of the vertebrate duplex retina.
