The Circadian Clock in the Retina Controls Rod-Cone Coupling
Open accessAbstract
SUMMARY Although rod and cone photoreceptor cells in the vertebrate retina are anatomically connected or coupled by gap junctions, rod-cone coupling is thought to be weak. By using a combination of tracer labeling and electrical recording in the goldfish retina and tracer labeling in the mouse retina, we show that the retinal circadian clock, a local endogenous process, and not the retinal response to the visual environment, controls the extent and strength of rod-cone coupling by activating dopamine D2-like receptors in the day, so that rod-cone coupling is weak during the day but remarkably robust at night. The results demonstrate that circadian control of rod-cone coupling serves as a synaptic switch between the rod and cone pathways, so that cones and neurons postsynaptic to cones receive very dim light signals from rods at night, but not in the day. The increase in the strength and extent of rod-cone coupling at night may enhance the reliability of the rod light response and facilitate the detection of large dim objects.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
