Dynamic plasticity in phototransduction regulates seasonal changes in color perception

Dynamic plasticity in phototransduction regulates seasonal changes in color perception

Animal coloration and behavior can change seasonally, but it is unclear if visual sensitivity to color shifts as well. Here, Shimmura et al. show that medaka undergo seasonal behavioral change accompanied by altered expression of opsin genes, resulting in reduced visual sensitivity to mates during w...
