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 ...

Figure 5: Expression of the G o G protein by rod bipolar cells. Although there are fewer cones in the normal murine retina than in the porcine retina, the synaptic organization of the different ...

In the eye are light receptors called cones and rods. Cones help us distinguish different ... it reflects light into the retina. This boosts dogs' night vision even more and is why dogs' eyes ...

However, the study provides limited new insights into the relationship between retinal lamination defects and overall retinal function. Neural lamination is a common feature of the central nervous ...

Nolan and Tsang proposed that rejuvenating the glycolytic metabolome specifically within rods could prevent degeneration in ...

Based on in situ hybridization and hypothyroid studies, thyroid hormone appears to target photoreceptor development. The hormone may be acting in at least two ways. It could instruct neuronal ...

Scientists have fixed a hole in a monkey's retina with a patch derived ... They found that new visual cells — rods, which primarily handle night vision, and cones, which are key to color vision ...
