On march 23 2007, researches at John Hopkins school of medicine found mice expressing a human light receptor. In addition to their own can make new light vision. This is a sign that the brain can adapt far more rapidly to new sensory then anticipated. This work also suggests when a the first primate inherited a newe type of photoreceptor more then 40 million years ago. It probably experienced immediate color inhancement, which may have allowed this trait to spread quickly. They did this research to see if they can make an organism have colored vision.

Lost Extra Credit
I watched the show Lost and found out how it relates to science. Lost has many types of organisms in the show. For example it has a cow and plants for producers. Also for consumers their are humans and a cat. Lastly there are many decomposers on the island. For example their are many types of bugs, mosquitos, and flys. Those are some reasons how the tv show Lost relates to science.
