Synaptic transmission between photoreceptors and horizontal cells can be modulated in at least two domains: amplitude and time. In teleost fish, synaptic transmission is modulated mainly in the amplitude domain. Cone-driven horizontal cells in this species require background illumination to maintain
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
## Abstract Glial modulation of synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability in the mammalian retina is mediated by several mechanisms. Stimulation of glial cells evokes Ca^2+^ waves, which propagate through the network of retinal astrocytes and MΓΌller cells and result in the modulation of the a
