• expression of several synaptic vesicle proteins (v-glut1, Vamp2, Synaptotagim, Synaptophysin) is decreased in the retina
|
• b-wave amplitudes, which reflect synaptic transmission between photoreceptors and bipolar neurons, are reduced about 30% at stimulus intensities that only rod photoreceptors are activated
• normalization to a-waves indicates an even greater reduction of 50% at the highest stimulation indices
