Figure 3.

Effects of [K]o manipulations on the amplitude of the light-evoked current. (A) A Hesse cell was voltage clamped and stimulated repetitively; the photocurrent size changed marginally as the extracellular potassium concentration was changed from 10 mM to either 2 or 50 mM. A fixed flash intensity was used throughout (2.8 × 1013 photons/cm2), and the holding potential was set at −50 mV. (B) Peak photocurrent amplitude normalized with respect to the value obtained at [K]o = 10 mM, averaged for three Hesse cells tested under the three ionic conditions. Error bars indicate SEM.
