ABSTRACT
Vision relies on two types of photoreceptor cells, rods and cones. Rods outnumber cones in the retinas of humans and most other vertebrate species, yet the contribution of cones to our vision is far more impactful than rods. A new study reveals an elegant enzymatic mechanism that favors light perception by cones under daylight conditions when rods are saturated by light and contribute little to useful vision.
