Die Fledermaus: regarding optokinetic contrast sensitivity and light-adaptation, chicks are mice with wings.

Autor: Qing Shi, William K Stell

Publikováno v: PLoS ONE, Vol 8, Iss 9, p e75375 (2013)

BackgroundThrough adaptation, animals can function visually under an extremely broad range of light intensities. Light adaptation starts in the retina, through shifts in photoreceptor sensitivity and kinetics plus modulation of visual processing in r

Publikováno v: PLoS ONE, Vol 3, Iss 7, p e2538 (2008)

The Cacna1f(nob2) mouse is reported to be a naturally occurring null mutation for the Ca(v)1.4 calcium channel gene and the phenotype of this mouse is not identical to that of the targeted gene knockout model. We found two mRNA species in the Cacna1f
