Summary
This paper discusses the concept of a dermal light sense, proposing a new classification scheme for photoreceptor cells and providing evidence for three hypotheses for dispersed photoreceptor cell function and evolution.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the concept of a dermal light sense, which is related to the health and function of the eye.
