Opsin genes, cone photopigments, color vision, and color blindness
In this chapter, we introduce the molecular structure of the genes encoding the human cone photopigments and their expression in photoreceptor cells. We also consider the consequences that alterations in those genes have on the spectral sensitivity of the photopigments, the cone photoreceptor mosaic, and the perceptual worlds of the color normal and color blind individuals who possess them. Thr...
متن کاملVariations in normal color vision. I. Cone-opponent axes.
Early postreceptoral color vision is thought to be organized in terms of two principal axes corresponding to opposing L- and M-cone signals (LvsM) or to S-cone signals opposed by a combination of L- and M-cone signals (SvsLM). These cone-opponent axes are now widely used in studies of color vision, but in most cases the corresponding stimulus variations are defined only theoretically, based on ...
متن کاملRod-cone based color vision in seals under photopic conditions
Marine mammals have lost the ability to express S-cone opsin, and possess only one type of M/L-cone in addition to numerous rods. As they are cone monochromats they should be color blind. However, early behavioral experiments with fur seals and sea lions indicated discrimination ability between many shades of grey and blue or green. On the other hand, most recent training experiments with harbo...
متن کاملCone Photoreceptor Structure in Patients With X-Linked Cone Dysfunction and Red-Green Color Vision Deficiency
PURPOSE Mutations in the coding sequence of the L and M opsin genes are often associated with X-linked cone dysfunction (such as Bornholm Eye Disease, BED), though the exact color vision phenotype associated with these disorders is variable. We examined individuals with L/M opsin gene mutations to clarify the link between color vision deficiency and cone dysfunction. METHODS We recruited 17 m...
متن کاملHarnessing vision for computation.
Might it be possible to harness the visual system to carry out artificial computations, somewhat akin to how DNA has been harnessed to carry out computation? I provide the beginnings of a research programme attempting to do this. In particular, new techniques are described for building 'visual circuits' (or 'visual software') using wire, NOT, OR, and AND gates in a visual 6modality such that ou...
