signals

Eyes
• Photoreceptor organs• At least 10 different ‘eyes’ have evolved
– Range from simple ‘eyespots’ with a few photoreceptors to very complex with thousands of receptors

Compound Eye• Many units called ommatidiumeach with it own lens
Vertebrate eye• single lens gathers lightand focuses it on many receptor cells

The retina
• Has two types of photoreceptors
1. Rod– High sensitivity– Low resolution– Black & White vision
2. Cones– High resolution– Lower sensitivity– Colour vision

Electrical Properties of Vertebrate Photoreceptors
• Compared to other neurons, resting Vm is more positive (~ -20mV)
• With light exposure, Vm hyperpolarizes!

Why hyperpolarize in response to light?
• In the dark, – PNa PK (outer segment)
– Vm therefore between ENa and EK
• In response to light,– PNa is reduced (outer segment), PK > PNa
– therefore, Vm EK, hyperpolarizes

• Visual Pigments membrane folds of the outer segment
Eg. Cone Outer SegmentMembrane folds:• called disks• contain pigment• Increase surface area

Visual Pigment molecules
• called Rhodopsin• Retinal (Vitamin A derivative) + Opsin (G-
protein coupled receptor)
• In humans 4 types of Opsin molecules– One type of rod– 3 types of cones– These specify which wavelength of light the
receptor responds to

Colour Blindness
Everyone should see number 12 ‘normal’ see number 8Red-green deficiency see number 3Total colour blind see no number
Colour blindness effects ~7-10% males, <1% females

Light activates rhodopsin
activates the G-protein Transducin
activates a phosphodiesterase enzyme (PDE)
converts cGMP GMP
cGMP closes ion channel, (the dark current channel)
Hyperpolarizes the photoreceptor
Phototransduction cascade

• Dark-current channel– Open in the dark– Closes in response to light– Nucleotide-gated channel (opened by cGMP)– Permeable to Na+
– Keeps photoreceptor Vm more positive than most neurons
Steady release of neurotransmitter

Summary• Retina has two types of photoreceptors• Vertebrate Photoreceptors have ‘dark current’ • Light converts rhodopsin from cis to trans
configuration• Activates G-protein, which closes dark current
channel by regulating cGMP• Photoreceptor hyperpolarizes, reducing
neurotransmitter release• Relieves inhibition of bipolar cell• Increases excitatory synaptic transmission to
ganglion cell, action potentials
