Light adaptation controls visual sensitivity by adjusting the speed and gain of the response to light
The range of c. 10(12) ambient light levels to which we can be exposed massively exceeds the <10(3) response range of neurons in the visual system, but we can see well in dim starlight and bright sunlight. This remarkable ability is achieved largely by a speeding up of the visual response as ligh...
