Unlike in birds and cold-blooded vertebrates' retinas, the photoreceptors of mammalian
retinas were long supposed to be morphologically uniform and difficult to distinguish into …

The formation of the primate fovea has fascinated a substantial number of histologists,
pathologists, ophthalmologists and physiologists for more than a century. In this article …

Direct imaging of the retina by adaptive optics allows assessment of the relative number of
long-wavelength-sensitive (L) and middle-wavelength-sensitive (M) cones in living human …

We have investigated the relationships of the cellular constituents of the retinal vasculature—
astrocytes, microglia and pericytes—to the differentiating endothelium in human fetal retina …

The study of surface color perception is a proper subset of the study of color perception, and
one way to highlight the difference between them is to consider the effective stimulus …

The organisation of the human photoreceptor mosaic reflects evolutionary strategies for
optimising visual information under a wide range of stimulus conditions:(1) The rod …

Macaca monkey and humans have three cone types containing either long‐wavelength (L),
medium‐wavelength (M), or short‐wavelength (S)‐specific opsin. The highest cone density …

The primate retina requires a coordinated series of developmental events to form its
specialized photoreceptor topography. In this study, the temporal expression of cone …

Inflammatory changes in the dental pulp are accompanied by release of a wide variety of
chemical mediators. Nitric oxide, an oxidative free radical produced by the enzyme nitric …

Although there is good histological evidence for a rim of cones extending round the margin
of the human retina at the ora serrata, the function of these cones is unknown, and indeed it …
