Japanese researchers recently found that the mechanism of human eyes to capture light and marine invertebrates like jellyfish.

According to reports, jellyfish lens and retina in the eye, Osaka City University professor Temple North out of the jellyfish were waiting to capture the light of the light-sensitive retinal cells, found in proteins associated with the transmission of information and other substances. Which can light signal into neural signals in the protein and the protein to the cyclic nucleotide signal transmission is jellyfish and humans have the material.

Jellyfish and vertebrate eye structure was similar to the construction of the eye, but can not be effectively jellyfish lens eyes of outside light, so it has always been that the two visual systems with different origins. Japanese researchers discovered that jellyfish eyes, a light mechanism and invertebrates similar to the human visual system is also possible from this is not the brain, relatively primitive ancestors of animals evolved.
