This is because visual experience is radically underdetermined by the data available in the proximal stimulus (the dynamic array of light falling on the retinae).
During the early larval stages, retinae of many marine teleosts contain only cones, and in a number of species, these are single cones.
Damage to pigeon retinae by moderate illumination from fluorescent lamps.
The two developmental strategies of multibank retinae may also be correlated with the life history of the respective species.
There is no morphological evidence of light damage in either black or albino retinae.
Intracellular electrophysiological recordings were made in horizontal cells of isolated retinae of carp maintained in physiological solution, with the receptor side up.
In the retinae of some fish, that were treated with reserpine or 6-hydroxy-dopamine, still a few dopaminergic cells could be detected.
Orientation of retinae was distinguished by the longest cut made toward the dorsal aspect.
