The first stage of vision: transduction and adaptation in retinal photoreceptors. The project aims to provide a detailed understanding of the molecular steps involved in the first stage of vision - the conversion of light into a neural signal in the rod and cone photoreceptors of the retina. The significance of this is that it will explain the initial events that enable us to see, and will help explain the deficits that occur when the process fails. The outcome will be a comprehensive understanding of how our photoreceptors respond with extreme sensitivity, yet great rapidity, and over an enormous range of light intensities, thus endowing us with our remarkable sense of vision.

视觉的第一阶段：视网膜感光器的转导和适应。该项目旨在详细了解视觉第一阶段所涉及的分子步骤——将光转化为视网膜视杆和视锥光感受器中的神经信号。其意义在于，它将解释使我们能够看到的最初事件，并有助于解释当过程失败时出现的缺陷。结果将是全面了解我们的感光器如何在巨大的光强度范围内以极高的灵敏度和极快的速度做出反应，从而赋予我们非凡的视觉感。
