Vertebrate Rod Receptors Are Directionally Sensitive

  • Chapter
Photoreceptor Optics

Abstract

It is the purpose of this paper to review our efforts to deal with the discrepancy between rod directionality and the scotopic Stiles-Crawford (S-C) function. I have long felt that if this issue can be rationally resolved we will have come a long way towards understanding the mechanisms underlying the Stiles-Crawford effect of the first kind (1933).
