Using the lamprey, researchers analyzed the photosensory mechanism of the pineal organ, also called the pineal gland, in non-mammalian vertebrates and discovered a novel mechanism of pineal color ...

Newly discovered two-cell color detection of the pineal organ in the lamprey may be an evolutionary ancestor to the single-cell system found in fish and reptiles Most non-mammalian vertebrates have a ...

University of Central Florida (UCF) researcher Debashis Chanda, a professor at UCF’s NanoScience Technology Center, has developed a new technique to detect long wave infrared (LWIR) photons of ...

Researchers have elucidated how a single photoreceptor in the pineal gland of zebrafish detects color. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, ...
