Elementary and macroscopic light-induced currents and their Ca2+-dependence in the photoreceptors of Periplaneta americana
In a microvillar photoreceptor, absorption of an incident photon initiates a phototransduction reaction that generates a depolarizing light-induced current (LIC) in the microvillus. Although in-depth knowledge about these processes in photoreceptors of the fruitfly Drosophila is available, not much...
