Summary
This paper discusses the role of short-wavelength-sensitive cones in light-evoked activity in the mouse pretectal olivary nucleus, suggesting a new role for these cones unrelated to color vision.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of different types of cones in the eye and their response to light, contributing to our understanding of eye health.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper explores the role of light in driving responses in the mouse pretectal olivary nucleus, which is involved in cognitive functions.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper's findings on how different wavelengths of light affect the eye could have implications for lighting design.
