Neuronal Organization of Deep Brain Opsin Photoreceptors in Adult Teleosts

Biological impacts of light beyond vision, i.e. non-visual functions of light, signify the need to better understand light detection (or photoreception) systems in vertebrates. Photopigments, which comprise light-absorbing chromophores bound to a variety of G-protein coupled receptor opsins, are res...
