Scope note

  • Specialized PHOTOTRANSDUCTION neurons in the vertebrates, such as the RETINAL ROD CELLS and the RETINAL CONE CELLS. Non-visual photoreceptor neurons have been reported in the deep brain, the PINEAL GLAND and organs of the circadian system.

History note

  • 2009 (1999); use PHOTORECEPTORS 1997-1998; for RODS AND CONES use PHOTORECEPTORS 1966-1998; for RETINAL PHOTORECEPTORS use PHOTORECEPTORS 1997-2008
