摘要：
Color vision is achieved by comparing the inputs from retinal photoreceptor neurons that differ in their wavelength seansitivity. Recent studies have elucidated the distribution and phytogeny of opsins, the family of light-sensitive molecules involved in this process. interesting new findings suggest that animals have evolved a strategy to achieve specific sensitivity through the mutually exclusive expression of different opsin genes in photoreceptors.
