About the Cover

This image shows a repeating pattern of electroretinogram traces from wild-type (white) mouse retinas and retinas in which the hyperpolarization-activated cation channel HCN1 was knocked out selectively in rods (cyan). The traces show a family of responses to a repetitive flash of light at increasing frequencies. The traces are overlain on the pupil of an eye with a blue iris. This reveals that in the absence of HCN1, rod signaling is prolonged and suppresses cone signaling. For more information, see the article by Lankford et al. (pages 4231–4249).
