A very large proportion of the world's animal species are active in dim light, either under the
cover of night or in the depths of the sea. The worlds they see can be dim and extended, with …

From the mid-19th century until the 1980's, frogs and toads provided important research
models for many fundamental questions in visual neuroscience. In the present century, they …

Animals which need to see well at night generally have eyes with wide pupils. This optical
strategy to improve photon capture may be improved neurally by summing the outputs of …

Time is largely a hidden variable in vision. It is the condition for seeing interesting things
such as spatial forms and patterns, colours and movements in the external world, and yet is …

The accuracy of toad snapping towards moving worm dummies under various levels of dim
illumination (from absolute threshold to “moonlight”) was videorecorded and related to spike …

Animals use vision over a wide range of light intensities, from dim starlight to bright
sunshine. For animals active in very dim light the visual system is challenged by several …

Due to our own preference for bright light, we tend to forget that many insects are active in
very dim light. Nocturnal insects possess in general superposition compound eyes. This eye …

colliculus (SC) of transgenic S334ter-line-3 rats that express a mutated rhodopsin, which …

Recent studies of redundancy gain indicate that it is especially large when redundant stimuli
are presented to different hemispheres of an individual without a functioning corpus …

The African weakly electric fish Gnathonemus petersii is well known for its electrosensory
capabilities. These animals can detect and distinguish objects through active electrolocation …
