Rods progressively escape saturation to drive visual responses in daylight conditions

Rods progressively escape saturation to drive visual responses in daylight conditions

Rod photoreceptors are thought to be saturated under bright light. Here, the authors describe the physiological parameters that mediate response saturation of rod photoreceptors in mouse retina, and show that rods can drive visual responses in photopic conditions.
