The biological mechanisms and behavioral functions of opsin-based light detection by the skin
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016 Light detection not only forms the basis of vision (via visual retinal photoreceptors), but can also occur in other parts of the body, including many non-rod/non-cone ocular cells, the pineal complex, the deep brain, and the skin.
