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 https://t.co/MZ16H3WiO2

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" : https://t.co/arGBQsbrsO

New paper in @CurrentBiology! We find a new, unexpected blue/S-cone neuron: M2 ipRGCs. Their Blue-ON input challenges coding hypotheses underlying classic color vision models & establishes a new short-wavelength input to non-image-forming vision @jay_neitz https://t.co/cLUZABM4O5

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: https://t.co/5WTNxdwJmC
