Two species of small, deep-dwelling fish called pearlsides possess eye cells that break the rules of vertebrate vision, combining features of rods and cones into a single hybrid photoreceptor never ...

Researchers have identified a new type of visual cell in deep-sea fish larvae that challenges a century of knowledge about ...

The deep sea is cold, dark and under immense pressure. Yet life has found a way to prevail there, in the form of some of Earth’s strangest creatures. Since deep-sea critters have adapted to near ...

Brown University researchers have found a new cell in the eye that acts as a photoreceptor – like a rod or cone – and sets the body’s circadian clock. Brown University researchers have found a new ...

Our ability to see starts with the light-sensitive photoreceptor cells in our eyes. A specific region of the retina, termed fovea, is responsible for sharp vision. Here, the color-sensitive cone ...

During most eye infections or injuries, neutrophils, immune cells found in the blood, are usually the first line of defense. However, researchers at the Flaum Eye Institute and Del Monte Institute for ...

Research reveals how close human vision comes to sensing the smallest possible unit of light. Here’s why that matters for perception.

Zebrafish are known to detect color and brightness with the pineal gland, which is part of the brain. How they do so is now being elucidated. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes ...

Tylor Lewis, Ph.D., assistant professor in the UAB Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, is a cell and developmental biologist whose research centers on the mechanisms that drive inherited ...
