The retina adapts to average light intensity but also to the range of light intensities (contrast). A study by Baccus and Meister, in this issue of Neuron, identifies three ways that ganglion cells and interneurons adapt to high contrast: shorten integration time, reduce gain, and depolarize. Only the depolarization decays, over tens of seconds.
视网膜不仅能适应平均光强度,还能适应光强度范围(对比度)。巴克斯和迈斯特在本期《神经元》杂志上发表的一项研究,确定了神经节细胞和中间神经元适应高对比度的三种方式:缩短整合时间、降低增益和去极化。只有去极化会在数十秒内衰减。
