Most non-mammalian vertebrates have a color detection system in the pineal organ of the brain that is located in a single cell. In collaboration with Nara Women's University, a new study from the ...

Newly discovered two-cell color detection of the pineal organ in the lamprey may be an evolutionary ancestor to the single-cell system found in fish and reptiles Most non-mammalian vertebrates have a ...
