After taking a neuroscience or biology course, most students have heard about rods and cones. But what about the recently discovered third class of photoreceptor cells in the retina - intrinsically ...

Daytime vision is mediated by retinal cones, which, unlike rods, remain functional even in bright light and dark-adapt rapidly. These cone properties are enabled by rapid regeneration of their pigment ...

Share on Pinterest New research involving cones and rods in the retina could lead to new treatments for vision loss. Gregory Adams/Getty Images Cone photoreceptors in retinal degeneration have been ...

Johns Hopkins scientists have discovered that the eye's vision-producing rods and cones cannot tell the difference between their respective light-detecting molecules. Johns Hopkins scientists have ...

New UCLA research in mice suggests that "dormant" cone photoreceptors in the degenerating retina are not dormant at all, but continue to function, producing responses to light and driving retinal ...

A new study shows mice without rods and cones function can still see -- and not just light, but also patterns and images -- thanks to a third kind of photosensitive cell in the retina. It would make ...

To describe the effects of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) on retinal function and the subsequent recovery following treatment in three patients with systemic conditions (two with Crohn disease; one ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The outer segments of vertebrate rod photoreceptor cells consist of an ordered stack of membrane disks, which, except for a few nascent disks ...

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--jCyte, Inc., today announced key findings presented at AAO 2021 which demonstrated that retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients with a baseline central visual field ...
