FfFfFfFF 58,060 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Knowledge of the functional evolution of visual systems in mammals has remained relatively sparse. "It occurred to us that we don't really know how mice perceive their natural environment visually," says Busse, who is a member of the transregional Collaborative Research Center. Here, the term "robust" refers the fact that animals (including humans) are able to draw inferences from limited amounts of visual information, even in environments that are constantly changing. Busse decided to close this gap by studying the visual input and the processing of neuronal signals in mice," In collaboration with Professor Thomas Euler of Tübingen University. The teams in Munich and Tübingen set out to develop an low-cost, open-source camera which, unlike conventional cameras, was specifically designed to cover the spectral regions in the green and ultraviolet to which the mice retina is sensitive. The researchers used this camera to image the environment as it would appear to a mouse, at different times of the day, in fields that showed clear signs of their presence. "We knew that the upper hemisphere of the mouse retina, with which they can see the sky, is especially sensitive to UV light," says Busse. "The lower half of the mouse retina, which is normally oriented towards the ground, shows a higher sensitivity in the green region. The team confirmed that these two spectral ranges closely match the color statistics of the natural environments that are favored by mouse populations. This adaptation could be a result of evolutionary processes—and for example help the animal to perceive birds of prey in the sky—and take evasive action. https://phys.org/news/2021-07-open-source-camera-images-natural-habitats.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
