Dogs see differently than humans. The reason lies within the eye. In the eye are light receptors called cones and rods. Cones help us distinguish different colors, while rods help us see in dim light.

The retina is home to two different kinds of light receptor cells—rods and cones. (Both are named after their relative shapes.) Cones work in bright light and register detail, while rods work in ...

The team noted high expression of RA synthesis genes early in human retinal organoid development that decreased over time, similar to what occurs in zebrafish. To test whether RA promoted M or L cones ...

Retina, bipolar and ganglion cells share circular receptive fields with an antagonistic surround whereas the lateral geniculate nucleus possesses rectangular receptive fields. Thus, when central cones ...

A study published yesterday (December 7) in Science Translational Medicine unravels part of this mystery: The researchers conclude that in mice, this green light analgesia is mediated mainly by cones, ...

In patients with RP, rod photoreceptors die from a mutation, but it has not been known why cone photoreceptors die. After rods die, the level of oxygen in the retina goes up, and this work shows ...

Inside the retina, there are millions of special sense receptors called rods and cones. The rods see the shapes of things, picking out black, white and shades of grey, and the cones see the ...

In wild-type, retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner nuclear layer (INL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), and nuclear layers of rod and cone photoreceptors are distinct, and rod outer segment (OS ...
