Analysis of a model for antagonistic muscles.

abstract：:It is shown that the models for the transduction process in photoreceptors which treat latency and amplification as integrated phenomena ("integrated models") yield time scales for single photon signals ("quantum bumps") which distinctly conflict with the experimentally observed ones for the ventral nerve photorecepto...
