In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns known as the "cone mosaic." Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science ...

Retinas in all mammals, from mouse to man, are made up of light-sensitive cells known as cones and rods, named for their shapes, which convert light into nerve signals that are then transmitted to ...

“Cones are particularly interesting as the cell type that matters most for our daily operation in color vision,” said Rui Chen, a molecular geneticist at Baylor College of Medicine who was not ...
