Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a signaling pathway. Process by which the visual system can modulate its sensitivity and response to light stimuli (that might vary over more than 6 magnitudes in intensity) without response saturation. The sequence of reactions within a cell required to convert absorbed photons from visible light into a molecular signal. A visible light stimulus is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived visually by an organism; for organisms lacking a visual system, this can be defined as light with a wavelength within the range 380 to 780 nm. The series of events involved in visual perception in which a sensory light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of excitation of rhodopsin by a photon and the events then required to return the rhodopsin containing cell to the unexcited state. The regulation of a signal transduction pathway in response to a stimulus upon prolonged exposure to that stimulus.
