A distinct contribution of short-wavelength-sensitive cones to light-evoked activity in the mouse pretectal olivary nucleus


Abstract

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.
