«This diversity will require more research by tracking down the elusive photoreceptor gene and examining the behavioural colour vision capabilities of other marsupials to confirm other species as trichromats.»
These findings have suggested the development stages at which to transplant cells — for instance, photoreceptor cells need to be relatively more mature than stem cells, according to Thomas Reh, who studies retinal development at the University of Washington.
Their group thinks they may need to treat more of the retina and perhaps give patients another drug that slows photoreceptor degeneration.
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.
