Comment on “emergence of novel color vision in mice engineered to express a human cone photopigment”
Abstract
Jacobs et al . (Reports, 23 March 2007, p. 1723) reported that plasticity in the mammalian visual system permitted the emergence of “a new dimension of sensory experience” in mice genetically engineered to express a human long-wavelength–sensitive cone photopigment. However, neither neural plasticity nor a new dimension of sensory experience is required to explain their results.

“Makous (2007) proposed an idea much more in keeping with conventional thinking that the observed red-green color vision behavior in the mice could be the result of taking advantage of existing circuits responsible for extracting luminance contrast for spatial vision.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
