The Color-Vision Circuit in the Medulla of Drosophila
BACKGROUND Color vision requires comparison between photoreceptors that are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. In Drosophila, this is achieved by the inner photoreceptors (R7 and R8) that contain different rhodopsins. Two types of comparisons can occur in fly color vision: between the R7 (UV sensitive) and R8 (blue- or green sensitive) photoreceptor cells within one ommatidium (unit e...
متن کاملGene Therapy for Color Blindness
Achromatopsia is a rare congenital cause of vision loss due to isolated cone photoreceptor dysfunction. The most common underlying genetic mutations are autosomal recessive changes in CNGA3, CNGB3, GNAT2, PDE6H, PDE6C, or ATF6. Animal models of Cnga3, Cngb3, and Gnat2 have been rescued using AAV gene therapy; showing partial restoration of cone electrophysiology and integration of this new phot...

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...
15 صفحه اولColor Design for the Color Vision Impaired
Eight percent of men are affected by color vision impairment – they have difficulties distinguishing between colors and thus confuse certain colors that the majority of people see readily. Designers of maps and information graphics cannot disregard the needs of this relatively large group of media consumers. This article discusses the most common forms of color vision impairment, and introduces...
متن کاملGene Therapy for Red-Green Color Blindness
Red-green color blindness, “Daltonism,” is the most common single locus genetic disorder, affecting 6% of men worldwide. Gene therapy is a potential means of correcting the defective or missing locus through the injection/transplantation of a normal transgene. Through the evaluation of one case study, gene therapy has cured colorblindness in squirrel monkeys, and may provide promise for humans.
