In cones, Iodopsin breaks down in high light, leading to hyperpolarization and an action potential in the bipolar neuron, which conveys the impulse to the brain.
- Iodopsin breaks down at high light intensities - hyperpolarisation - action potential forms in bipolar neurone - passed to brain via bipolar neurone
