In this webinar, Dr. Do presents novel data on electrical signal propagation through cone cells in the fovea of primates. Unlike other neuron types, foveal cones show minimal signal loss, and several biophysical parameters contributing to this high-fidelity signal propagation are identified. The experimental results contrast with computational models based solely on tissue anatomy, emphasizing the importance of incorporating both anatomical and physiological factors to fully understand tissue function.
