Control of Retinal Sensitivity
Open accessAbstract
Test stimuli, presented at the center of the bipolar cell receptive field, spanning less than 2 log units of intensity, elicit the full range of graded response. The intensity range of test stimuli that elicits the graded response depends upon the background conditions. A higher range of log test intensities is required to elicit the graded bipolar response in the presence of surround backgrounds. But surround backgrounds can also serve to unsaturate the bipolar response and thereby increase sensitivity under certain conditions. The results suggest that a second stage of sensitivity-control is mediated by the horizontal cell system at the outer plexiform layer, concatenated with the effects of adaptation in the photoreceptors.

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.
