Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We investigated the molecular basis of host switching by the phytophagous West Indian fruit fly (A. obliqua). Third‐instar larvae showed differential gene expression according to host plants: red mombin, mango, and carambola. The main gene categories differentially expressed were digestion, detoxification, and gene regulators.

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 ...

Paleoinspired Vision: From Exploring Colour Vision Evolution to Inspiring Camera Design [PDF]
arXivThe evolution of colour vision is captivating, as it reveals the adaptive strategies of extinct species while simultaneously inspiring innovations in modern imaging technology. In this study, we present a simplified model of visual transduction in the retina, introducing a novel opsin layer.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Transplantation of stem cell‐derived photoreceptors in retinal repair. We summarize methods for differentiating stem cells and describe surgical techniques for transplanting photoreceptor precursors to restore visual function (A). The effectiveness of these techniques is assessed with behavioral (B) and in vitro assays (C) using mouse models that mimic

Optogenetic Light Sensors in Human Retinal Organoids
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018 Optogenetic technologies paved the way to dissect complex neural circuits and monitor neural activity using light in animals. In retinal disease, optogenetics has been used as a therapeutic modality to reanimate the retina after the loss of photoreceptor
