Ribbon synapses compute temporal contrast and encode luminance in retinal rod bipolar cells

Contrast is computed throughout the nervous system to encode changing inputs efficiently. The retina encodes luminance and contrast over a wide range of visual conditions and so must adapt its responses to maintain sensitivity and avoid saturation. Here we show how one type of adaptation allows indi...
