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.
