## Abstract One class of goldfish bipolar cells, the mixedβinput bipolar cell, contacts both rods and cones. Although the morphology of the different mixedβinput bipolar cell subtypes has been described, insight into the interaction between rods and cones at the bipolar cell level is scarce. The ai

## Abstract It has been generally accepted that rod photoreceptor cells in the mammalian retina make synaptic contact with only a single population of rod bipolar cells, whereas cone photoreceptors contact a variety of cone bipolar cells. This assumption has been challenged in rodents by reports of
We studied the responses of rod photoreceptors that were elicited with light flashes or sinusoidally modulated light by using intracellular recording. Dark-adapted Xenopus rod photoreceptors responded to sinusoidally modulated green lights at temporal frequencies between 1 Hz and 4 Hz. In normal Rin
