Dormant cone photoreceptors in the degenerating retina may retain visual function, research suggests
New UCLA 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 ...

In addition to allowing us to see, the mammalian eye also detects light for a number of "nonvisual" phenomena. A prime example of this is the timing of the sleep/wake cycle, which is synchronized by ...
