Single opsin driven white noise ERGs in mice [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 PurposeElectroretinograms elicited by photopigment isolating white noise stimuli (wnERGs) in mice were measured. The dependency of rod- and cone-opsin-driven wnERGs on mean luminance was studied.MethodsTemporal white noise stimuli (containing all ...

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022 Cubomedusae, or box jellyfish, have a complex visual system comprising 24 eyes of four types. Like other cnidarians, their photoreceptor cells are ciliary in morphology, and a range of different techniques together show that at least two of the eye types—

Multiple opsin expression in cubozoan ocelli indicates functional redundancy [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBox jellyfish have a complex visual system comprising 24 eyes of four morphological types. The visual functions of the two large image-forming lens eyes are well-understood; however, far less is known about the two lateral pairs of smaller eyes, the pit ...

Light does not phase shift the circadian clock of subcutaneous adipose tissue in vitro [PDF]
npj Biological Timing and SleepThe retinal photopigment melanopsin is also expressed in subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT). Through melanopsin, light can modulate scWAT metabolism, but its impact on circadian phase is unclear.

Examining the role of the photopigment melanopsin in the striatal dopamine response to light [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems NeuroscienceThe mesolimbic dopamine system is a set of subcortical brain circuits that plays a key role in reward processing, reinforcement, associative learning, and behavioral responses to salient environmental events.

Extravisual opsins in the blind shrimp Creaseria morleyi: presence and expression
Nauplius, 2023 The presence of a long-wavelength sensitive (LWS) opsin gene was demonstrated in the stygobitic crustacean Creaseria morleyi (Creaser, 1936) by PCR readings from genomic DNA.

Action spectra of zebrafish cone photoreceptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Zebrafish is becoming an increasingly popular model in the field of visual neuroscience. Although the absorption spectra of its cone photopigments have been described, the cone action spectra were still unknown. In this study we report the action spectra

Light control of G protein signaling pathways by a novel photopigment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Channelopsins and photo-regulated ion channels make it possible to use light to control electrical activity of cells. This powerful approach has lead to a veritable explosion of applications, though it is limited to changing membrane voltage of the ...

Chlorophyll treatment combined with photostimulation increases glycolysis and decreases oxidative stress in the liver of type 1 diabetic rats [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2019 Photodynamic therapy (PDT) promotes cell death, and it has been successfully employed as a treatment resource for neuropathic complications of diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and hepatocellular carcinoma.
