Retinal Rod Photoreceptor Cells
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Retinal Rod Photoreceptor Cells'Photosensitive afferent neurons located in the peripheral retina, with density increases radially away from the FOVEA CENTRALIS. Being much more sensitive to light than the RETINAL CONE CELLS, the rod cells are responsible for twilight vision (at scotopic intensities) as well as peripheral vision, but provide no color discrimination. Common names: Retinal Rod Photoreceptor Cells; Retinal Rod Cells; Cell, Retinal Rod; Cells, Retinal Rod; Rod Cell, Retinal; Rod Cells, Retinal; Retinal Rod Photoreceptors; Photoreceptor, Retinal Rod; Photoreceptors, Retinal Rod; Retinal Rod Photoreceptor; Rod Photoreceptor, Retinal; Rod Photoreceptors, Retinal |

Vertebrate retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) are pluripotent, but pass through competence states that progressively restrict their developmental potential (Cepko et al., 1996; Livesey and Cepko, 2001; Cayouette et al., 2006). In the rodent eye, seven ... Read more...
Specificity of the horizontal cell-photoreceptor connections in the zebrafish (Danio rerio) retina.
8 Oct 2009 Horizontal cells (HCs) are involved in establishing the center-surround receptive field organization of photoreceptor and bipolar cells. In many species, HCs respond differentially to colors and may play a role in color vision. An earlier study from ... Read more...
22 Sep 2009 Rods and cones are morphologically and developmentally distinct photoreceptor types with different functions in vision. Cones mediate daylight and color vision and in most mammals express M and S opsin photopigments for sensitivity to medium-long ... Read more...
