Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Mice can discriminate color, but unlike in primates, studies have so far failed to find robust cone-opponent cells in the retina. A new study shows that a sub-region of the mouse visual thalamus is specialized for processing color.
