The first step to identifying objects and establishing spatial relationships is the visual transduction cascade, a process that underpins a wide range of ocular diseases and therapies. Toward that, Visual Transduction And Non-Visual Light Perception reveals not only how the eye evolved into an organ of vision, but also describes how molecular mechanisms of key molecules (such as transducins, phosphodiesterases, and CyclicGMP metabolizing enzymes) operate in the phototransduction cascade. In this groundbreaking text, experts also explain mechanisms for sensing readiation outside of the visible wavelengths -- a good example of the limitations of the human sensory systems. Comprehensive and penetrating, Visual Transduction And Non-Visual Light Perception brings together the developmental, structural, and molecular mechanisms of the visual transduction cascade and is an invaluable text for everyone conducting research in the visual system. 410 0$aOphthalmology research. 606 $aVisual discrimination$xPsychological aspects 606 $aCellular signal transduction 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aVisual discrimination$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aCellular signal transduction. 676 $a152.142 676 $a573.88416 701 $aTombran-Tink$b Joyce$0878509 701 $aBarnstable$b Colin J$0878508 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451489203321 996 $aVisual transduction and non-visual light perception$92461689 997 $aUNINA
