AI-powered research on one of the largest eye studies to date has created the most detailed maps of the retina ever produced.

Rods are more sensitive to light than cones so they are useful for seeing in dim light. There are three different types of cone cells which produce colour vision. The amount of light entering the ...

Human eyes contain two types of photoreceptors, or nerve cells that detect light: rods and cones. Each photoreceptor contains light-absorbing molecules, called photopigments, that undergo a ...

The two types of photoreceptor cells are known as rods and cones. Rods are responsible for peripheral and night vision. They detect brightness and shades of gray. Cones are responsible for day ...

You appreciate peripheral vision? Thank your rods. This story originally appeared in Volume 24 of Road & Track. I’m not saying that the cone cells, which detect color, are prima donnas ...
