Rod and cone photoreceptor cells are specialized neurons responsible for transforming the information reaching the eyes in the form of photons into the language of neuronal activity. Rods are the most prevalent photoreceptor type, primarily responsible for light detection under conditions of limited illumination. Here we demonstrate that human rods have a morphological organization unique among all described species, whereby the cell soma extends alongside the light-sensitive outer segment compartment to form a structure we have termed the "accessory inner segment.

- The increasing number of Canadians over 65 years old highlights the need for smart home technologies to help manage chronic diseases and support independent living among older adults.
- This systematic review evaluated the clinical evidence for various in-home localization technologies, reviewed their acceptability, and categorized the types of technologies available.
- Findings showed mixed results regarding the ability of these technologies to identify cognitive impairments, though they were effective in detecting frailty; acceptability was generally favorable, particularly for ambient sensors, with high accuracy levels for room detection.
