In addition to rod photoreceptor loss, many mutations in rod photoreceptor-specific genes cause degeneration of other neuronal types. Identifying mechanisms of cell–cell interactions initiated by ...
Scientists have long believed that the eye uses the retina’s rod cells for vision at night and cone cells to see during the day. New research at The Ohio State University Medical Center, however, ...
Light-sensitive cells in the retina come in two main types: rods and cones. Rods are used for vision at low light and cones for color and bright light. A study in the September issue of the Journal of ...
LA JOLLA, CA — Mammals have two types of light-sensitive detectors in the retina. Known as rod and cone cells, they are both necessary to picture their environment. However, researchers at the Salk ...
Retinas from our earliest vertebrate ancestors had cone-like photoreceptors, presumably allowing them to see in daylight, but little ability to see at night. Then, millions of years ago in the ...
