How they do so is now being elucidated. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness or brightness is detected by ...

Disruption of photoreceptor cilia has been implicated ... and a marked decrease in the thickness of the outer nuclear layer (ONL) in RD mice, indicating severe damage to photoreceptors.

Researchers have elucidated how a single photoreceptor in the pineal gland of zebrafish detects color. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red ...

This accumulation eventually leads to the breakdown of the retinal layer called the retina pigment ... leading to the death of photoreceptor cells and, eventually, geographic atrophy, which ...
