Description:
During the rod-isolated phase of dark adaption, b-wave implicit time of the human cone electroretinogram increased exponentially with a time constant corresponding to that for the regeneration of rhodopsin. In the presence of different photopically equated short-wave backgrounds, cone b-wave implicit time varied inversely with the scotopic brightness of the background. Taking into account the origin of the b wave, these measurements support the idea of a rod effect on cone function in the distal human retina.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sandberg, M A -- Berson, E L -- Effron, M -- EY00169/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 May 15;212(4496):829-31.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7221568" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
