In the retinas of human eyes, the cones are photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision, daylight vision, and the perception of small details. As vision scientists from the Division of ...

Humans rely on sight, which is primarily mediated by three color-sensing cone types, to perceive the world in a kaleidoscope of hues. Blue cones develop earliest, followed by the morphologically ...

Researchers identified a retinal disease to evaluate the success of gene and cell replacement therapy. In the retinas of human eyes, the cones are photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision, ...

The human eye can see with exceptional detail, allowing people to read fine print, recognize faces across the room, and take in the features in nature. Scientists have long debated how this sharp ...

New research in mice suggests that 'dormant' cone photoreceptors in the degenerating retina are not dormant at all, but continue to function, producing responses to light and driving retinal activity ...

Scientists have long believed that the eye uses the retina’s rod cells for vision at night and cone cells to see during the day. New research at The Ohio State University Medical Center, however, ...
