Retinal function: coupling cones clarifies vision.

Simon B Laughlin1.   

Abstract

Gap junctions have been shown to electrically couple cone photoreceptors: coupling blurs the image coded by cones, but this loss is offset by a decrease in noise. Electrical coupling thus improves the resolution of signals distributed across groups of cells.
