The deficits in texture, motion, and depth perception incurred in monkeys at isoluminance were compared with the responses of neurons of the color-opponent and broad-band systems in the lateral geniculate nucleus. Texture perception, assumed to be carried by the color-opponent system, and motion and depth perception, ascribed to the broad-band pathway, were all found to be compromised but not abolished at isoluminance. Correspondingly, both the color-opponent and the broad-band systems were affected at isoluminance, but the activity of the neurons in neither system was abolished. These results suggest that impairment of visual capacities at isoluminance cannot be uniquely attributed to either of these systems and that isoluminant stimuli are inappropriate for the psychophysical isolation of these pathways.  相似文献

UV-B(280nm~320nm)、UV-A(320nm~390nm)和蓝光(390nm-500nm)经不同光受体和信号传递途径控制植物发育的各个方面。已知的蓝光/UV-A受体有隐花色素CRY1和CRY2,向光性受体有趋光素。氧化还原过程在隐花色素和趋光素信号转导过程中起重要作用。专一的UV-B光受体尚未被鉴定出,存在许多可能的UV-B信号传递途径.拟南芥查尔酮合成酶(CHS)的紫外光和蓝光转录调控成为研究热点。光受体突变体实验表明存在不同的UV-A/蓝光和UV-B光感知系统调控CHS的表达。拟南芥细胞悬浮培养物实验表明UV-B和CRY1信号传递途径在动力学上和药理学上不同。影响诱导CHS转录的启动子元件和转录因子现已被鉴定出。UV-B、隐花色素和光敏色素信号传递途径之间的相互作用调控CHS表达。UV-B途径与UV-A/蓝光途径的协同相互作用使CHS最大量表达。另外,专一的光敏色素经不同的增强和相巨作用正调控CRY1途径,负调控UV-B途径。  相似文献

Objects displaced intermittently across the visual field will nonetheless give an illusion of continuous motion [called apparent motion (AM)] under many common conditions. It is believed that form perception is of minor importance in determining AM, and that AM is mediated by motion-sensitive areas in the "where" pathway of the cortex. However, form and motion typically interact in specific ways when natural objects move through the environment. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure cortical activation to long-range AM, compared to short-range AM and flicker, while we varied stability of structural differences between forms. Long-range AM activated the anterior-temporal lobe in the visual ventral pathway, and the response varied according to the form stability. The results suggest that long-range AM is associated with neural systems for form perception.  相似文献

The principal eyes of jumping spiders have a unique retina with four tiered photoreceptor layers, on each of which light of different wavelengths is focused by a lens with appreciable chromatic aberration. We found that all photoreceptors in both the deepest and second-deepest layers contain a green-sensitive visual pigment, although green light is only focused on the deepest layer. This mismatch indicates that the second-deepest layer always receives defocused images, which contain depth information of the scene in optical theory. Behavioral experiments revealed that depth perception in the spider was affected by the wavelength of the illuminating light, which affects the amount of defocus in the images resulting from chromatic aberration. Therefore, we propose a depth perception mechanism based on how much the retinal image is defocused.  相似文献

Much is known about the pathways from photoreceptors to higher visual areas in the brain. However, how we become aware of what we see or of having seen at all is a problem that has eluded neuroscience. Recordings from macaque V1 during deactivation of MT+/V5 and psychophysical studies of perceptual integration suggest that feedback from secondary visual areas to V1 is necessary for visual awareness. We used transcranial magnetic stimulation to probe the timing and function of feedback from human area MT+/V5 to V1 and found its action to be early and critical for awareness of visual motion.  相似文献

植物低温信号的感知、转导与转录调控   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
低温是植物生长的主要环境胁迫因子之一。植物对低温的应激是一个复杂的过程,包括低温信号的感知、信号转导和转录调控等阶段。低温可以通过质膜流动性的改变被质膜感知,也可以通过质膜上的钙离子通透性通道、组氨酸激酶、受体激酶和磷酸酯酶感知。低温信号转导包括钙信号途径和其他信号途径,其中钙信号途径是低温应答过程中重要的信号途径。在此途径中,因低温增加的胞质钙离子能被CDPK、磷酸酶和MAPK识别并传导;其他信号途径主要与ABA有关。低温信号最终将启动CBF和非CBF介导的转录调控,提高植物的低温抗性。  相似文献

Sevenless: a cell-specific homeotic mutation of the Drosophila eye   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Each ommatidium in the compound eye of the Drosophila mutant sevenless lacks photoreceptor number seven (R7) from the normal ommatidial complement of eight photoreceptors. A comparison of mutant and normal development reveals that this deficit is caused by the cell-specific transformation of the cell normally fated to produce R7 into a lens-secreting accessory cell, a cone cell.  相似文献

MAPK级联信号途径在植物病原真菌的生长、发育、繁殖及致病性等方面起着重要作用。根据已公布的5个水稻纹枯病菌(Rhizoctonia solani)全基因组数据利用生物信息学方法对该病原菌的MAPK(mitogenactivated protein kinase)级联信号途径基因进行了鉴定,并预测水稻纹枯病菌MAPK级联途径图。蛋白结构域和motif分析结果表明,水稻纹枯病菌的MAPK信号途径基因均含有丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶结构域,并且基因序列具有较高保守性。多重序列比对结果表明,水稻纹枯病菌基因组中存在11个MAPKKK基因,分属于Ste11、Bck1和Ssk2类;10个MAPKK基因,分别为Ste7、Pbs2及Mkk1类;12个MAPK基因,被分类为Kss1/Fus3、Hog1、Slt2和Ime2。在5个水稻纹枯病菌基因组中,水稻纹枯病菌(taxid:456999)和AG-3 Rhs 1 AP(taxid:1086054)基因组中存在Kss1/Fus3-MAPK、Hog1-MAPK、Slt2-MAPK和Ime2-MAPK信号通路,AG-1 IB(taxid:1108050)基因组中存在Kss1/Fus3-MAPK、Hog1-MAPK和Slt2-MAPK通路,AG-8 WAC10335(taxid:1287689)基因组中仅存在Hog1-MAPK通路,而AG-1 IA(taxid:983506)基因组中只有2个MAPKKK基因未找到完整的信号通路。依据上述研究结果预测了水稻纹枯病菌的Kss1/Fus3、Hog1、Slt2和Ime2级联途径模型,此结果为深入研究水稻纹枯病菌的MAPK家族功能奠定了重要的理论基础。  相似文献

Light synchronizes mammalian circadian rhythms with environmental time by modulating retinal input to the circadian pacemaker-the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus. Such photic entrainment requires neither rods nor cones, the only known retinal photoreceptors. Here, we show that retinal ganglion cells innervating the SCN are intrinsically photosensitive. Unlike other ganglion cells, they depolarized in response to light even when all synaptic input from rods and cones was blocked. The sensitivity, spectral tuning, and slow kinetics of this light response matched those of the photic entrainment mechanism, suggesting that these ganglion cells may be the primary photoreceptors for this system.  相似文献

Light has been exploited for information by organisms through the evolution of photoreceptors and, ultimately, eyes in animals. Only a handful of eye types exist because the physics of light constrains photodetection. In the past few years, genetic tools have revealed several parallel pathways through which light guides behavior and have provided insights into the convergent evolution of eyes. The gene encoding opsin (the primary phototransduction protein) and some developmental genes had very early origins and were recruited repeatedly during eye evolution. Eye lens proteins arose separately and make up a diverse group, many of which were co-opted from other functions. A major challenge now is understanding how newly discovered pathways for processing light evolved and how they collaborate with eyes to harvest information from light.  相似文献

Both dauer formation (a stage of developmental arrest) and adult life-span in Caenorhabditis elegans are negatively regulated by insulin-like signaling, but little is known about cellular pathways that mediate these processes. Autophagy, through the sequestration and delivery of cargo to the lysosomes, is the major route for degrading long-lived proteins and cytoplasmic organelles in eukaryotic cells. Using nematodes with a loss-of-function mutation in the insulin-like signaling pathway, we show that bec-1, the C. elegans ortholog of the yeast and mammalian autophagy gene APG6/VPS30/beclin1, is essential for normal dauer morphogenesis and life-span extension. Dauer formation is associated with increased autophagy and also requires C. elegans orthologs of the yeast autophagy genes APG1, APG7, APG8, and AUT10. Thus, autophagy is a cellular pathway essential for dauer development and life-span extension in C. elegans.  相似文献

The relation between terminal mitosis and the events that determine the developmental fate of embryonic precursor cells is not well understood. This relation has now been investigated with [3H]thymidine autoradiography to determine the time of cell birth and with a culture system that allows the testing of the developmental potential of cells isolated from the chick embryo retina. Contrary to the situation in vivo, where neuronal differentiation always precedes photoreceptor differentiation, photoreceptor differentiation occurs prematurely and precedes neuronal differentiation when precursor cells are isolated from the retina at early embryonic stages. Thus, cells born by embryonic day 5 (ED-5) give rise predominantly to photoreceptors when isolated for culture on ED-6 but develop mainly as neurons when isolated on ED-8. This suggests that retinal precursor cells retain after terminal mitosis the capacity to develop either as neurons or as photoreceptors. Moreover, photoreceptor differentiation appears to represent a constitutive or "default" pathway that precursor cells follow in the absence of neuron-inducing signals.  相似文献
