Abstract
Mudpuppy rod and cone responses differ both in time course of recovery and in absolute sensitivity. Rods are about 25 times more sensitive than cones and appear to generate a larger voltage per quantum absorbed. Comparison of mudpuppy receptor sensitivities to those of other vertebrates suggests that the difference in sensitivity between rods and cones may be a general phenomenon.Keywords
