The contributions of genetics research to the science of normal and defective color vision
over the previous few decades are reviewed emphasizing the developments in the 25years …

How an object is perceived depends on the temporal context in which it is encountered.
Sensory signals in the brain also depend on temporal context, a phenomenon often referred …

Synaptic interactions to extract information about wavelength, and thus color, begin in the
vertebrate retina with three classes of light-sensitive cells: rod photoreceptors at low light …

Evidence has accumulated that rod activation under mesopic and scotopic light levels alters
visual perception and performance. Here we review the most recent developments in the …

Color processing begins with the absorption of light by cone photoreceptors, and progresses
through a series of hierarchical stages: Retinal signals carrying color information are …

Color has become a premier model system for understanding how information is processed
by neural circuits, and for investigating the relationships among genes, neural circuits, and …

The general principles of retinal organization are now well known. It may seem surprising
that retinal organization in the primate, which has a complex visual behavioral repertoire …

The Old World macaque monkey and New World common marmoset provide fundamental
models for human visual processing, yet the human ancestral lineage diverged from these …

Categorical perception provides a potential link between color perception and the linguistic
categories that correspond to the basic color terms. We examined whether the sensory …

Recent stimulus history—adaptation—alters neuronal responses and perception. Previous
electrophysiological and perceptual studies suggest that prolonged adaptation strengthens …
