In the retina, the cells responsible for the visual experience are rods and cones. These cells are called photoreceptors and they absorb and convert light into electric signals.

Furthermore, they were subsequently able to show this bright-light rod contribution in mice with fully functional cones as well. With this new data, it seemed obvious that the models used by most ...

The key retina parts include the rods and cones, which convert light into electrical signals for the brain, and the macula, which allows you to see details clearly.

Rod bipolar cells survived rod degeneration Visual information collected by rods and cones is transmitted centrally through separate rod-mediated and cone-mediated signaling pathways via ...

The cells in the retina that produce the visual experience are rods and cones. Rods are active in dim light and cones in daylight. Mutations in rods that cause them to die trigger most inherited ...

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 ...

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.

Cone-rod dystrophy is a group of IRDs that damage cones and rods. Vision loss gets worse over time. Between 1 in 30,000 and 1 in 40,000 people have cone-rod dystrophy.
