STEREOLOGY AND SOME STRUCTURAL CORRELATES OF RETINAL AND PHOTORECEPTOR CELL FUNCTION
Image Analysis and Stereology, 2011 The retina is the part of the eye which detects light, transduces it into nerve impulses and plays a significant role in visual perception. Sensitivity to light is multi-factorial and depends on the properties of photopigment molecules, their synthesis ...

The Cone Dysfunction Syndromes [PDF]
, 2016 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.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background Morphological divergences of snake retinal structure point to complex evolutionary processes and adaptations. The Colubridae family has a remarkable variety of retinal structure that can range from all-cone and all-rod to duplex (cone/rod ...

Opsin activation of transduction in the rods of dark‐reared Rpe65 knockout mice
The Journal of Physiology, 2005 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.

In conditions of limited chromophore supply rods entrap 11-cis-retinal leading to loss of cone function and cell death [PDF]
, 2017 RPE65 is a retinoid isomerase required for the production of 11-cis-retinal, the chromophore of both cone and rod visual pigments. We recently established an R91W knock-in mouse strain as homologous animal model for patients afflicted by this mutation in

The zebrafish ultraviolet cone opsin reported previously is expressed in rods.
Investigative ophthalmology & visual science, 1996 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.

Bleached pigment activates transduction in salamander cones. [PDF]
, 1995 We have used suction electrode recording together with rapid steps into 0.5 mM IBMX solution to investigate changes in guanylyl cyclase velocity produced by pigment bleaching in isolated cones of the salamander Ambystoma tigrinum.
