IDENTIFICATION OF DYNAMIC BEHAVIOUR OF LIGHT-POTENTIAL TRANSDUCTION SYSTEM IN PHOTORECEPTOR OF CALLIPHORA ERYTHROCEPHALA USING IRS-STIMULI

The linear dynamic behaviour of the light-potential transduction system in photorceeptor of Calliphora erythrocephala has been studied through the cross-correlation method using InverseRepeat Sequences and the lineal model of phototransduction is provided. The impulse response function and frequency characteristics have been determiued in the condition of background illumination.The results suggest that the R1-6 is equipped with a gain and time constant control mechanism which depends upon the adaptation level of the system under study.It becomes evident that the IRS correlation method is powerful to quantify the dynamic characteristics of the system containing nonlinearities and will become a very popular application for the study of biological sensory systems.The visual receptor cells R1-6 in the fly are the most sensible choice for the study of the light-potential transdnction system of the eye. The input of the system is the temporarily varying light intensity applied upon the eyes of the fly and th
