Visual photoreceptor subtypes in the chicken retina: melatonin-synthesizing activity and in vitro differentiation

The chicken retina contains five visual photoreceptor subtypes, based on the specific opsin gene they express. In addition to the central role they play in vision, some or all of these photoreceptors translate photoperiodic information into a day–night rhythm of melatonin production. This indolic ho...
