New UCLA research in mice suggests that “dormant” cone photoreceptors in the degenerating retina are not dormant at all, but continue to function, producing responses to light and driving retinal ...

Early study shows cones in retinal degeneration, thought to be dormant, may retain visual function “Dormant” cone photoreceptors continue to drive retinal activity for vision ...

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

Scientists at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have discovered that certain ...

Researchers link early cone dysfunction in RPGR-related retinal dystrophy to high myopia, with timing of degeneration influencing severity and outcomes.

Find out what you need to know about the retina, including where it's located, what it does, and potential health problems. ... Cones are responsible for giving us our color vision.

Our retina consists of short (S), medium (M), and long (L) wavelength cones whose responses are tuned to colors near the blue, green, and red gamut, respectively.

The human eye perceives color using three types of cones, but no natural light can stimulate just the the cones associated with medium-wavelength light in the visible spectrum.; A new tool ...

A new retinal stimulation technique called Oz enabled volunteers to see colours that lie beyond the natural range of human vision. Developed by researchers at UC Berkeley, Oz works by stimulating ...

Then, they fired precise laser pulses—100,000 times per second—at specific green-sensitive cones, while tracking minuscule eye movements 960 times per second to keep the aim steady.
