Neurons of the superior colliculus in the tectum process this type of input, a fact confirmed by Sperry's experiments on frogs.
Neurons of the superior colliculus in the tectum process this type of input, a fact confirmed by Sperry's experiments on frogs. The rhabdom is part of a repeating unit called the ommatidium that comprises the main organ associated with this ability in insects. The inner plexiform layer of one structure involved with processing it contains interneurons called amacrine cells. A key molecule involved in transduction of this sense is converted from 11-cis to all-trans. Stargardt's disease and the related "dry" and "wet" forms of a usually age-related condition can cause the loss of this sense via the degeneration of the macula. Rhodopsin leads to formation of rods and cones, this sense's photoreceptors. For 10 points, what sense is processed by the the retina and other parts of the eye?
