you measure changes in membrane potential in an on-center bipolar cell that is exposed to light in the center of its receptive field. what response would you expect to see?

Respuesta :

The response would be Depolarization due to decreased release of glutamate by the photoreceptor cell. (Option 5)

Bipolar cells can be on or off-center. Bipolar cells get inputs from a bunch of photoreceptor cells that characterize the bipolar cell's responsive field. Glutamate is the neurotransmitter released by all photoreceptor cells. A bipolar cell that responds to glutamate by excitation will be excited when the light is off because glutamate release decreases when exposed to light. Because they are active when light is off in the center of their receptive field, these cells are referred to as off-center bipolar cells.
