Sentence examples for proportion of cones from inspiring English sources

The eyes have a high proportion of cones to rods in their retinas and are positioned to provide partial binocular vision (that is, the eyes are aimed in the same direction), sighting down grooves on the snout to aim at moving prey.

In Arvicanthis ansorgei, another model with a relatively high proportion of cones in the retina [15] [17], no significant specialization of the vascular pattern could be observed.

JH492 labeled LM-cones also made up the largest proportion of cones in the dunnart retina (47.7% 73.4%), but unlabeled cones reached a relative percentage of 21.6% to 44.5%, clearly outnumbering the JH455 labeled S-cones (3.6%–8.4%).

The data confirmed previous reports indicating that 1) the wallaby retina contains only two cone types and 2) a considerable proportion of cones in the dunnart retina remains unlabeled by S- and LM-opsin antibodies.

As only 1 2%% of the photoreceptors in the central retina of seals are cones, the question arises in which way and how much this small proportion of cones can contribute to the sense of sight in seals.

Moreover, transplantation of embryonic-stage Crx-expressing donor cells into a cone-deficient retina, the Gucy2e −/− model of LCA, resulted in a higher proportion of cones among the total number of integrated photoreceptor cells.

We conclude that the elevated sensitivity of the retina to UV light, in both species investigated, is attributed to the considerable proportion of cone photoreceptors exclusively expressing S opsin and the large number of cones co-expressing S and L opsins.

Although, rods vastly outnumber cone photoreceptors in the mouse retina, we predicted that the Crx-expressing donor populations from early retinal development would contain a comparatively high proportion of cone precursors, as most rods are born relatively late.

As hypothesized, a higher proportion of cone cells was observed among the total number of integrated photoreceptor cells using the embryonic donor cells when compared with postnatal donor cells (Fig.  4E).

Although reductions of cone-driven b-wave responses were not statistically significant in 12-month-old mice, probably because of the low proportion of cone photoreceptors in the mouse retina, 20-month-old mice had proportionally greater reductions compared to age-matched wild-types, with statistically significant Student's t test p values.

This calculation relies on an estimate of the proportions of cones present in the retina.
