NonNBME Qn - samideb12
#11
OK, got it, it is because Kaplan book was explaining rods only, which work only on dark or dim light, so when light hits-->lowers PDE-->low signal-->off

The opposite is true for cons, which are responsible for color and day light vision.

That is why we don't see colors in dim light.

Thanks for raising this point Samideb!

Great question, thanks Samideb12!

Do you guys remember the anti-psychotic medication that has a side effect that resembles retinitis pigmentosa?
