A group of German researchers has discovered how tiny eye movements and the density of photoreceptors assist in visual acuity ...

Quantitative models for responses of rod and cone photoreceptors are developed that allow direct tests of the impact of the photoreceptors on responses of downstream visual neurons.

Our ability to see starts with the light-sensitive photoreceptor cells in our eyes. A specific region of the retina, termed ...

Opsin genes, cone photopigments ... Photopigments and the biophysics of transduction in cone photoreceptors Trevor Lamb 4. Electrophysiology of cone photoreceptors in the primate retina Julie L.

Researchers in Bonn reveal how subtle eye movements and the density of photoreceptors contribute to sharp vision. Our ability to see begins with the light-sensitive photoreceptor cells in our eyes. A ...

It could instruct neuronal maturation, allowing already-born photoreceptors to express ... A: TRβ2 mutants have a defect in opsin expression. Normally, cones in the dorsal retina express more ...

These photoreceptors consist of rods and cones. Rods allow the eye to sense ... X chromosomes and may carry different versions of the opsin genes. In contrast, males have only one X chromosome ...

She explains that there are two types of photoreceptors: rods and cones. Rods help with night and peripheral vision while cones facilitate central vision and help us see in color. This computer ...

Cells in the tapetum act like a mirror, reflecting light that passes between the rods and the cones back to the photoreceptors and giving them another chance to pick up the small amount of light ...

Here, the color-sensitive cone photoreceptors allow us to detect even the smallest details. The density of these cells varies from person to person. Additionally, when we fixate on an object ...

Our ability to see starts with the light-sensitive photoreceptor cells in our eyes. A specific region of the retina, termed fovea, is responsible for sharp vision. Here, the color-sensitive cone ...
