Sensory Transduction and Subjective Experience: Expression of eight genes in three senses suggests a radical model of consciousness [PDF]
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 ...

Genetic control of photoreceptor terminal differentiation in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Why do photoreceptors differentiate in the eye? Though simple, biologically this is an important question, and it may prove complex to answer. To present a bigger picture: animals have evolved a diversity of highly specialised sensory organs, which they ...

Opsin activation of transduction in the rods of dark‐reared Rpe65 knockout mice
Rpe65 knockout mice (Rpe65−/−) are unable to synthesize the visual pigment chromophore 11‐cis retinal; however, if these animals are reared in complete darkness, the rod photoreceptors accumulate a small amount of 9‐cis retinal and its corresponding visual pigment isorhodopsin.

The Cone Dysfunction Syndromes [PDF]
The cone dysfunction syndromes are a heterogeneous group of inherited, predominantly stationary retinal disorders characterised by reduced central vision, and varying degrees of colour vision abnormalities, nystagmus and photophobia.

The zebrafish ultraviolet cone opsin reported previously is expressed in rods.
To examine expression of the zebrafish ultraviolet cone opsin pigment in goldfish and zebrafish retinas.Digoxigenin-labeled cRNA probes were prepared by run-off transcription from plasmids containing cDNAs for zebrafish ultraviolet opsin, goldfish ultraviolet cone opsin, and goldfish rod opsin.
