| 31. | Changes in the sensitivity of rods and cones in the eye are the major contributors to dark adaptation.
|
| 32. | Ciliary opsins, found in vertebrates and cnidarians, attach to ciliary structures such as rods and cones.
|
| 33. | When those photons hit your open eye, they trigger photoreceptor cells called rods and cones on the retina.
|
| 34. | Its eyes use a combination of photonic crystals, parabolic mirrors and a clustered arrangement of rods and cones.
|
| 35. | There are two types of photoreceptor cells, rods and cones, which are sensitive to different aspects of light.
|
| 36. | At these light levels, both the rods and cones are actively contributing pattern information to that exiting the eye.
|
| 37. | The RPE also has a vital function of recycling the chemicals used by the rods and cones in photon detection.
|
| 38. | Between these regions, mesopic vision comes into play and both rods and cones provide signals to the retinal ganglion cells.
|
| 39. | Melanopsin-containing ganglion cells also receive input from rods and cones that can add to the input to these pathways.
|
| 40. | Significantly, this challenged the misconception that rod and cone photoreceptors were the sole receptors for photo-entrainment in humans.
