Researchers have discovered that the retina uses an unexpected communication network that lets separate visual pathways cooperate instead of working alone. A newly identified "commander" cell appears ...

We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness or brightness is detected by photoreceptor rods. Many non-mammalian ...

Researchers have elucidated how a single photoreceptor in the pineal gland of zebrafish detects color. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, ...

For the first time, an international research team led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has recorded a tiny mechanical "twitch" in living human and rodent eyes at the ...
