Show more [+] Less [-]In teleost retinas, cone photoreceptors and horizontal cells show dramatic changes related to light and dark adaptation. Light induces cone contraction and invaginations of fingerlike protrusions (spinules) into cone pedicles from horizontal cell dendrites, whilst darkness causes the opposite to happen. The aim of this study is to determine changes in cone photoreceptors and horizontal cells size during adaptation to light and darkness.
