Optic-nerve-transmitted eyeshine, a new type of light emission from fish eyes
BACKGROUND: Most animal eyes feature an opaque pigmented eyecup to assure that light can enter from one direction only. We challenge this dogma by describing a previously unknown form of eyeshine resulting from light that enters the eye through the top of the head and optic nerve, eventually emanati...
