Color vision is facilitated by distinct populations of cone photoreceptors in the retina. In
rodents, cones expressing different opsin photopigments are sensitive to middle (M,'green') …

INTRODUCTION Cone photoreceptors in the human retina enable daytime, color, and high-
acuity vision. The three subtypes of human cones are defined by the visual pigment that they …

Cone photoreceptor diversity allows detection of wavelength information in light, the first
step in color (chromatic) vision. In most mammals, cones express opsin photopigments for …

Most mammals have two types of cone photoreceptors, which contain either medium
wavelength (M) or short wavelength (S) opsin. The number and spatial organization of cone …

Cone photoreceptors in the murine retina are patterned by dorsal repression and ventral
activation of S opsin. TRβ2, the nuclear thyroid hormone receptor β isoform 2, regulates …

In bright light, cone-photoreceptors are active and colour vision derives from a comparison
of signals in cones with different visual pigments. This comparison begins in the retina …

We see over an enormous range of mean light levels, greater than the range of output
signals retinal neurons can produce. Even highlights and shadows within a single visual …

Mammalian retinas display an astonishing diversity in the spatial arrangement of their
spectral cone photoreceptors, probably in adaptation to different visual environments. Opsin …

Red–green colour blindness, which results from the absence of either the long-(L) or the
middle-(M) wavelength-sensitive visual photopigments, is the most common single locus …

Hereditary human retinal degenerative diseases usually affect the mature photoreceptor
topography by reducing the number of cells through apoptosis, resulting in loss of visual …
