100 Papers You Should Read: Receptive Field Organization of the S-Potential
This paper, the sixth in the 100 papers you should read in vision science category by Alan L. Norton, Henk Spekreijse, Myron L. Wolbarsht and Henry G. Wagner in 1968 examined the receptive fields of S-potentials in the retina of carp. The authors examined the relationship of the stimulus intensity with the area of stimulation for …

Iris Tumor Goniometer
Iris tumors are fairly common and have been featured here on Webvision before. Most “tumors” are actually cysts or benign nevi, but malignant melanomas also can occur. Fortunately, most of them are restricted in size and they do not proliferate, but are monitored through slit lamp examination like these images. Ultrasound monitoring also is used …
100 Papers You Should Read: Molecular Genetics of Human Color Vision: The Genes Encoding Blue, Green, and Red Pigments
This is the fifth paper in the category, 100 Papers You Should Read (in vision science). This paper in the journal Science by Jeremy Nathans, Darcy Thomas and David Hogness in the genetics of human vision is a landmark paper in our understanding of how color vision works. This paper defined our understanding of how rod …
