Retina in a dish: Cell cultures, retinal explants and animal models for common diseases of the retina
2021, Progress in Retinal and Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :In addition, mice express an ultraviolet cone, which is not found in man or pigs (Jacobs et al., 1991). Furthermore, the mouse retina contains photoreceptors which co-express both types of opsins, which is unusual for mammals (Applebury et al., 2000; Neitz and Neitz, 2001). The total number and topical distribution of the cones in the retina as well as the relation from L, S, and L+S cones depends on the mouse strain, with considerable variation between pigmented and unpigmented strains.

2014, Neurobiology of AgingCitation Excerpt :Further, some cells can express both opsins (Bowmaker, 2008; Rohlich et al., 1994). However, these have differential distributions with M/L cones widely distributed or more common dorsally and S cones predominantly present in the ventral retina (Rohlich et al., 1994), although patterns of distribution may be more complex (Applebury et al., 2000; Neitz and Neitz, 2001). Hence, if age-related cone cell death is differential, then examining its impact may critically depend on the geographic regions selected for analysis.
Chromatic Coding from Cone-type Unselective Circuits in the Mouse Retina
2013, NeuronCitation Excerpt :Opsin coexpression broadens the spectral tuning of individual cones, while opsin expression anisotropies lead to a segregation into retinal regions that differ in opsin dominance (Applebury et al., 2000; Röhlich et al., 1994). While usually considered as disadvantageous for color vision (Neitz and Neitz, 2001), we show that these properties may serve as the basis for a novel implementation of chromatic opponency. Interestingly, the color opponency reported here likely requires only a single evolutionary cone type, although with varying opsin coexpression.
