The eye of Callimico goeldii features histologically and histometrically all the characteristics of an organ adapted to diurnal activity. The eyelid apparatus, accommodation system, and external eye muscles are highly differentiated as well as the retina with its fovea centralis. The numerical relations of the three retinal neurons differ considerably between the peripheral and central fundus area indicating a high degree of centralisation which is also found in Cebidae and Callithrichidae.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
