Light Response of a Giant Aplysia Neuron

Illumination of an Aplysia giant neuron evokes a membrane hyperpolarization which is associated with a membrane conductance increase of 15%. The light response is best elicited at 490 nM: the neuron also has an absorption peak at this wavelength. At the resting potential (-50 to -60 mV) illuminatio...
