Abstract: Significance Optical coherence tomography has established that human cone photoreceptor outer segments elongate in response to stimuli bleaching large fractions of their visual pigment. Elongation responses are completely described over their 200-fold bleaching range as… read more here.

Abstract: The topography of S-cones in the macula sets the neural constraints for coding the short-wavelength spectrum of color vision. We find that S-cones tile the central human retina with a non-random crystalline arrangement. This finding… read more here.
