1·Photoreceptors are cells that respond to light by sending out a chemical signal.
光感受器是通过发出化学信号来对光作出反应的细胞。
2·Two important types of photoreceptors are rods and cones.
其中重要的两种光感受器是杆状和锥状细胞。
3·Both the CEP290 and LCA5 genes encode proteins with vital functions in the cilium of the photoreceptors, transporting visual proteins to the compartment where vision occurs.
CEP290和LCA5基因编码的蛋白在光感受器功能、视觉成像时转运视觉蛋白上起了重要的作用。
4·Retinal ganglion cells receive visual information from photoreceptors and collectively transmit visual information from the retina to several regions in the brain.
视网膜神经节细胞接受来自光感受器的视觉信息并将视觉信息从视网膜全体传送至脑的不同区域。
5·The experiments were designed to determine whether the brains of the genetically altered mice could efficiently process sensory information from the new photoreceptors in their eyes.
这些实验是为了验证经过基因治疗的小鼠的大脑能否有效的感知它们眼内的新的光感受器的信息。
