When light strikes a photoreceptor, it reduces the amount of glutamate that it releases. This releases ___ cells from inhibition, allowing them to release more neurotransmitters and excite ___ cells. This produces action potentials that travel down the optic nerve.
A) horizontal; amacrine
B) amacrine; horizontal
C) ganglion; bipolar
D) bipolar; ganglion
Certain postganglionic neurons cause the pupil of the eye to constrict by releasing what chemical neurotransmitter? (The color coding on the illustration explains this.)
a) Based upon how the neural membrane functions, briefly explain how electrical
stimulation can cause a neuron to generate an action potential. Describe in one
sentence a type of action potential that can be generated by electrical stimulation, but
that cannot be generated by synaptic inputs.
b) The central part of the retina consists largely of cones, which are responsible for
colour vision in normal sight. However, presently available retinal prostheses are not
able to reliably provide a perception of colour for people implanted with these devices.
Explain why people with a retinal prosthesis are currently unable to reliably perceive
colour.
