Values are mean ± SEM (number of cells).
†
Fractional reduction of the maximal response amplitude by steady light activating 50 R* rod−1s−1; p = 0.01.
†††
Flash sensitivity: average response amplitudes divided by flash strength for flashes delivered in steady light (Sf L) or in darkness (Sf D).
Other parameters as defined in Table 1. For Sf L/Sf D p = 0.0008; for all others not indicated, p≧0.23.
