Modulation of voltage-dependent K+ conductances in photoreceptors trades off investment in contrast gain for bandwidth
Fig 13
Modulators shift bandwidth, peak contrast gain and energy consumption of photoreceptors (a) Bandwidth and contrast gain plotted against each other with (solid curves) and without (dashed curves) modulation at four levels of depolarisation produced by fixing the LiC. (b) Energy consumption and bandwidth plotted against each other with (solid curves) and without (dashed curves) modulation at four levels of depolarisation produced by fixing the LiC. (c) Energy consumption and peak contrast gain plotted against each other with (solid curves) and without (dashed curves) modulation at four levels of depolarisation produced by fixing the LiC.
