| Comments |
"Goldstein noted that the amplitude
of the cone but not the rod early receptor potential
reaches a steady state in illuminated, isolated frog retina and
recovers with a t1/2 of 5 to 6 minutes in the dark.[primary sources] Thus,
it appears that cones can regenerate their visual pigment in
frog retina in the absence of RPE [retinal pigment
epithelial]." |
