During intracellular iontophoretic injection of Ca++intoLimulusventral photoreceptor cells, there is a progressive diminution of the light response. Following Ca++injection, the size of the light response slowly recovers. Similarly, there is a progressive diminution of the light response during intracellular injection of Na+and recovery after the injection is stopped. The rate of diminution during Na+injection is greater for higher [Ca++]out. In solutions which contain 0.1 mMCa++, there is nearly no progressive decrease in the size of the light response during Na+injection. Intracellular injections of Li+or K+do not progressively decrease the size of the light response. We propose that an increase in [Na+]inleads to an increase in [Ca++]inand that an increase in [Ca++]inby any means leads to a reduction in responsiveness to light.
