Chromophore supply rate-limits mammalian photoreceptor dark adaptation [PDF]
, 2014 Efficient regeneration of visual pigment following its destruction by light is critical for the function of mammalian photoreceptors. Here, we show that misexpression of a subset of cone genes in the rd7 mouse hybrid rods enables them to access the ...

Functional Imaging of the Outer Retinal Complex using High Fidelity Imaging Retinal Densitometry [PDF]
, 2020 We describe a new technique, high fidelity Imaging Retinal Densitometry (IRD), which probes the functional integrity of the outer retinal complex. We demonstrate the ability of the technique to map visual pigment optical density and synthesis rates in ...

Functional and behavioral restoration of vision by gene therapy in the guanylate cyclase-1 (GC1) knockout mouse. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Recessive mutations in guanylate cyclase-1 (Gucy2d) are associated with severe, early onset Leber congenital amaurosis-1(LCA1). Gucy2d encodes guanylate cyclase (GC1) is expressed in photoreceptor outer segment membranes and produces cGMP in these cells.

An Evaluation of a Battery of Functional and Structural Tests as Predictors of Likely Risk of Progression of Age-Related Macular Degeneration. [PDF]
, 2018 Purpose: To evaluate the ability of visual function and structural tests to identify the likely risk of progression from early/intermediate to advanced AMD, using the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) simplified scale as a surrogate for risk of ...

Clinical Features of a Pediatric Case with Cone Dystrophy
Van Tıp Dergisi, 2018 The cone dystrophy is a nonhomogenous group of inherited and progressive retinal diseases that affects chiefly the cone system. It is frequently characterized by progressive loss of visual acuity, photophobia, central scotoma, color vision disturbances ...

Visual function and cortical organization in carriers of blue cone monochromacy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Carriers of blue cone monochromacy have fewer cone photoreceptors than normal. Here we examine how this disruption at the level of the retina affects visual function and cortical organization in these individuals.

Relationship Between Foveal Cone Specialization and Pit Morphology in Albinism [PDF]
, 2014 Purpose.Albinism is associated with disrupted foveal development, though intersubject variability is becoming appreciated. We sought to quantify this variability, and examine the relationship between foveal cone specialization and pit morphology in ...

Attentional Blink Effects on S-Cone Stimuli
i-Perception, 2019 This study aimed to compare attentional blink (AB) effects on S-cone and on luminance stimuli. Recent research had revealed considerable AB effects not only on high-order visual areas but also on low-order visual areas.

Bat eyes have ultraviolet-sensitive cone photoreceptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Mammalian retinae have rod photoreceptors for night vision and cone photoreceptors for daylight and colour vision. For colour discrimination, most mammals possess two cone populations with two visual pigments (opsins) that have absorption maxima at short
