The energy resolution limit (ERL) is a mix of parameters representing the economics of a quantum system within a sensor's ...

Recent studies have revealed complex mechanisms behind the evolution of these visual systems, including gene duplication, loss, and the adaptation of photoreceptor sensitivity to different ...

Gross, PhD, is researching protein-mediated retinal degenerations and molecular mechanisms of photoreceptor membrane biogenesis—in particular, the necessary molecular interactions for healthy ...

This discovery highlights a unique color-sensing mechanism and may contribute to advancements in optogenetics. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to ...

Disruption of photoreceptor cilia has been implicated in a variety of retinal diseases, collectively called retinociliopathies, such as Leber congenital amaurosis and retinopathy of prematurity.

Professor Terakita added, "The elucidation of the mechanism of color discrimination by a single type of photoreceptor protein is expected to contribute to the realization of optogenetics ...

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 photoreceptor rods. Many non-mammalian ...
