Central to my research is the photoreception in vertebrates. Using a microspectrophotometer that allows us to study the absorption spectra of single photoreceptors, we have conducted a comparative study of the reaction of the visual cycle in intact retinal rods of amphibians and mammals under conditions close to in vivo. The suction micropipette technique used […]

Scientific interests: photoreception mechanisms of rods and cones of vertebrates: features of regulation of the phototransduction cascade; the mechanism of the magnetic compass in the retina of migratory birds; retinal degeneration mechanisms in hereditary diseases and optogenetic prosthetics of visual function. Methods: electrophysiology – registration of the current of single photoreceptors with suction pipette method […]
