Sentences with phrase «different photoreceptor»

One of the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom can be found in species of stomatopod crustaceans (mantis shrimp), some of which have 12 different photoreceptor types, each sampling a narrow set of wavelengths ranging from deep ultraviolet to far red (300 to 720 nanometers)(1 — 3).

The team discovered that the vibrant light from the breast feathers selectively activates different photoreceptors in the female birds» eyes as the colors change.

Not exact matches

The downside is that people with these eye diseases are losing sight in large part because they're losing a different type of eye cell: the photoreceptors that sense light in the retina.

Instead of the brain computing a colour based on the numerical ratio of different colour amounts detected by the photoreceptors, the photoreceptors respond in a particular pattern, which is then sent to the brain.

Like many animals, humans have three kinds of photoreceptors in their eyes, each sensitive to a different colour.

In different sets of photographs, the scientists developed software that replicated how colors look under different types of color vision, including different types of color blindness, and the type of trichromatic vision seen in many artificial systems, with even spacing of the green and red photoreceptors.

Retinas are built of a stack of different types of neurons, each connected by synapses that transmit signals from photoreceptors to the brain.

By allowing the plants to regulate the change from the active to the inactive state, they can adapt the photosensitivity of the phytochrome B photoreceptor to different conditions.

A good example of compartmentalization is observed in a specialized type of light - sensing neurons found in the retina, the photoreceptors, which are made up of different compartments containing specific proteins essential for vision.

Part of the process of seeing color is that three different kinds of photoreceptors in the eye are tuned to three overlapping families of color: red, green and blue (which are activated by visible light of long, medium and short wavelengths).

Only larger stimuli covering far more than one cell's receptive field — the area where a bipolar cell collects photoreceptor inputs — generated different signals across multiple channels.

But if the animal adds a second photoreceptor with different absorption properties, then by comparing both receptors, the red and green lights could always be distinguished.»

In addition to this, the gene duplicates in zebrafish display strikingly different expression during the day - night cycle, presumably to allow efficient regulation of photoreceptor cells under dramatically different light conditions.

Neves confirmed that MANF is indeed upregulated in response to retinal damage in both the fly and the mouse, and protects photoreceptors from different types of damage.

The eyes contain two different types of photoreceptor cells that affect the way everyone sees things, and this is true of both dogs and people.
