A new photosensory function for simple photoreceptors, the intrinsically photoresponsive neurons of the sea slug <i>Onchidium</i>
Simple photoreceptors, namely intrinsically light-sensitive neurons without microvilli and/or cilia, have long been known to exist in the central ganglia of crayfish, Aplysia, Onchidium, and Helix. These simple photoreceptors are not only first-order photosensory cells, but also second-order neurons...
