Kinetics of synaptic transmission from photoreceptors to horizontal and bipolar cells in turtle retina.

abstract：:The absorption of a photon by a photoreceptor triggers a small voltage fluctuation termed the 'bump'. Here, in the housefly, I introduce the bispectrum of photoreceptor noise to characterise the bump under dim light. The bispectrum provides explicit phase information and is not contaminated by Gaussian background nois...
