Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 X-linked retinitis pigmentosa 2 (XLRP2) patients and Rp2null mice exhibit severe cone photoreceptor degeneration. However, due to the paucity of cones in mammalian model systems, it is not clear how cones respond to the loss of RP2. Here we have used the

Sensory Transduction and Subjective Experience: Expression of eight genes in three senses suggests a radical model of consciousness [PDF]
, 2007 Recent research into whole genome mapping of the mouse brain has made possible direct investigation of the brain expression of unusual genes. A search of the Allen Brain Atlas database has provided genetic and neuro-anatomical evidence for widespread ...

Multiple Pathways of Visual Adaptations for Water Column Usage in an Antarctic Adaptive Radiation
Ecology and EvolutionEvolutionary transitions in water column usage have played a major role in shaping ray‐finned fish diversity. However, the extent to which vision‐associated trait complexity and water column usage is coupled remains unclear.

Persistent activation of transducin by bleached rhodopsin in salamander rods. [PDF]
, 1996 The hydrolysis-resistant GTP analogue GTP-gamma-S was introduced into rods isolated from the retina of the salamander Ambystoma tigrinum to study the origin of the persistent excitation induced by intense bleaching illumination.
