SPR_NR and SPR_Forsk are amplitudes of SPRs in normal Ringer and in forskolin-containing solution, respectively. SD is standard deviation of continuous dark noise. S/N = SPR/SD stands for SNR. ν_deNR and ν_deForsk are rates of discrete dark events expressed as the number of events per second per µm³ of the rod outer segment volume.

Statistically significant effects of forskolin perfusion (P < 0.05).
