This project investigates the balance between sensitivity and speed in vision by studying the roles of rod and cone cells in varying light conditions. Using genetically modified mice, it aims to link molecular changes in photoreceptors to neural processing and behavior, enhancing our understanding of visual perception.
Vision operates across a billion-fold range of light intensities from a moonless night to a sunny beach.
One mechanism contributing to this outstanding performance is the division of labor between two types of light-sensitive receptor cells, rods and cones.
In dim light, vision is mediated by slow but highly sensitive rods.
In brighter light, cones mediate vision with fast signal kinetics but lower sensitivity.
It has been hypothesized that this division of labor corresponds to a fundamental tra…
