Advances in Photoreception. Proceedings of a Symposium on Frontiers of VisualScience. Held in Washington, DC. in March 1988

摘要

In March 1988 the Committee on Vision sponsored a Symposium on Frontiers ofVisual Science at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. The Committee brought together 10 leading investigators in vision research to discuss advances in photoreception. Speakers included visual physiologists and psychophysicists, who discussed wavelength specificity of visual pigments, receptor transduction in health and disease, adaptation of photoreceptors to light, variations of the photoreceptor lattice across the retina, and photoreceptor sampling of visual images and aliasing. Comparisons of human and animal retinas also were discussed.
