Some uniquely human nerve circuits for color vision allow people to perceive a greater range of blue tones than monkeys do. @PNASNews study by Yeon Jin Kim @RetinaVision @Dacey_Lab @BioStructureUW & colleagues @SydneySaveSight et al bit.ly/3ABq1gH
2/ A cluster of cone synaptic pedicles from the foveal retina of a marmoset. The small blue pedicle in the center is a short wavelength sensitive or S cone. #comparativeconnectomics #colorvision Our link: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
1/Our new paper, "Comparative connectomics reveals noncanonical wiring for color vision in human foveal retina", now published in @PNASNews Welcome news after participating in a fascinating symposium on retinal connectomics at #ARVO2023 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Please check this out! Proud to be part of this amazing study, led by Dennis Dacey @Dacey_Lab and Yeon Jin Kim @RetinaVision at @BioStructureUW @UW, and other fantastic colleagues. #vision #retina Origins of direction selectivity in the primate retina disq.us/t/47vnucw
2/First physiology of starburst amacrine cells in primate retina (@Dacey_Lab,@RetinaVision). Original image is from Fig 6b in @NatureComms (click view: nature.com/articles/s4146……)

1/Our new and exciting discovery (@Dacey_Lab, @RetinaVision at @BioStructureUW, @UW), Origins of direction selectivity in the primate retina disq.us/t/47vnucw
We used a very cool platform - @orsdragonfly3d to initiate a connectomic study of starburst amacrine cells in the macaque monkey retina. Dragonfly offers deep-learning based segmentation tools and great data visualization. youtu.be/PVdVDFRtv9s
Congratulations Rachel! I am sure everyone in the retinal neurobiologysphere will be excited to hear this great news!

By contrast there is physiological evidence for a second blue-ON cell type referred to morphologically as the "large bistratified ganglion cell" : sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

If there was an S-ON input to the Melanopsin expressing ganglion cells in macaque retina I think it would have been observed in this study measuring cone inputs to these cells with physiological methods: nature.com/articles/natur…
