Zebrafish larvae lose vision at night.
Darkness serves as a stimulus for vertebrate photoreceptors; they are actively depolarized in the dark and hyperpolarize in the light. Here, we show that larval zebrafish essentially turn off their visual system at night when they are not active. Electroretinograms recorded from larval zebrafish show large differences between day and night; the responses are normal in amplitude throughout the d...
متن کاملNight-time conductance in C3 and C4 species: do plants lose water at night?
Significant night-time stomatal conductance and transpiration were found for 11 out of 17 species with a range of life histories (herbaceous annual, perennial grass, shrub, tree), photosynthetic pathways (C(3), C(4)), and habitats in the western United States. Across species and habitats, higher night-time conductance and transpiration were associated with higher daytime values. The prevalence,...
متن کاملChapter 10 - Color Vision and Night Vision
Day vision and night vision are two separate modes of visual perception and the visual system shifts from one mode to the other based on ambient light levels. Each mode is primarily mediated by one of two photoreceptor classes in the retina, i.e., cones and rods. In day vision, visual perception is primarily cone-mediated and perceptions are chromatic. In other words, color vision is present in...
متن کاملTrue-Color Night Vision Cameras
This paper describes True-Color Night Vision cameras that are sensitive to the visible to near-infrared (V-NIR) portion of the spectrum allowing for the “true-color” of scenes and objects to be displayed and recorded under low-light-level conditions. As compared to traditional monochrome (gray or green) night vision imagery, color imagery has increased information content and has proven to enab...
متن کاملRapid Adaptation of Night Vision
Apart from the well-known loss of color vision and of foveal acuity that characterizes human rod-mediated vision, it has also been thought that night vision is very slow (taking up to 40 min) to adapt to changes in light levels. Even cone-mediated, daylight, vision has been thought to take 2 min to recover from light adaptation. Here, we show that most, though not all adaptation is rapid, takin...
