在本章中，我们介绍了编码人类视锥光色素的基因的分子结构及其在光感受器细胞中的表达。我们还考虑了这些基因的改变对光色素的光谱敏感性、锥状光感受器马赛克的影响，以及拥有这些基因的正常人和色盲个体的感知世界。在整个过程中，我们强调了我们的知识仍然不完整的领域。
In this chapter, we introduce the molecular structure of the genes encoding the human cone photopigments and their expression in photoreceptor cells. We also consider the consequences that alterations in those genes have on the spectral sensitivity of the photopigments, the cone photoreceptor mosaic, and the perceptual worlds of the color normal and color blind individuals who possess them. Throughout, we highlight areas in which our knowledge is still incomplete.
