| Popis: | The retina of aquatic organisms has been adapted, through evolution, to the specific lighting conditions of water. The purpose of this paper is to present the major morphological and functional differences of photoreceptors between humans and aquatic organisms. Comparison of visual pathways of the nervous system between humans and aquatic organisms is also attempted. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015. |
