In the dark, rod cells are unstimulated and therefore the sodium is able to enter and depolarize the cell, stimulating the release of glutamate to the bipolar cell. However, this increase in glutamate in the bipolar cell inhibits the release of action potential from the bipolar cell to the ganglion cell. This doesn't make sense to me because shouldn't there be an increase in action potential since the rod cells are supposed to function in the dark?
