The photopigment bleaching hypothesis of complementary after-images: A psychophysical test [PDF]
, 1972 Normal observers color-adapted simultaneously to two spatially distinct sequences of light stimulation, equivalent in their bleaching effects but complementary to one another in hue.

Multiphoton response of retinal rod photoreceptors
Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2007 Phototransduction is the process by which light is converted into an electrical response in retinal photoreceptors. Rod photoreceptors contain a stack of (about 1000) disc membranes packed with photopigment rhodopsin molecules, which absorb the photons ...

Journal of Experimental Neuroscience, 2013 Mammalian vision consists of the classic image-forming pathway involving rod and cone photoreceptors interacting through a neural network within the retina before sending signals to the brain, and a non image-forming pathway that uses a photosensitive ...

Acta Biologica Slovenica, 1989 By determining the differential, light-induced oxygen consumption in blow-fly Calliphora erythrocephala (white-eyed) retinas, the fraction of the metabolic energy needed in the fly's eye for the processes other than those driving the ionic pumps was ...

Multiple opsin expression in cubozoan ocelli indicates functional redundancy
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 ...

Photopigment coexpression in mammals: comparative and developmental aspects [PDF]
, 2005 In mammals, each cone had been thought to contain only one single type of photopigment. It was not until the early 1990s that photopigment coexpression was reported. In the house mouse, the distribution of color cones shows a characteristic division.

, 1994 Light adaptation and photopigment bleaching in cone photoreceptors were studied in the intact, superfused retina of the turtle (Pseudemys scripta elegans). A new method for measuring changes in the photopigment of cones is described.

Differential stability of variant OPN1LW gene transcripts in myopic patients
Molecular Vision, 2019 Purpose: In Bornholm eye disease, a defect in the splicing of transcripts from a variant OPN1LW opsin gene leads to a depletion in spliced transcript levels and, consequently, a reduction in photopigment in photoreceptors expressing the variant gene ...

Invisible light inside the natural blind spot alters brightness at a remote location
Scientific Reports, 2018 The natural blind spot in the visual field has been known as a large oval region that cannot receive any optical input because it corresponds to the retinal optic disk containing no rod/cone-photoreceptors. Recently, stimulation inside the blind spot was
