Vertebrate color vision is predominantly mediated by the presence of multiple cone photoreceptor subtypes that are each maximally sensitive to different wavelengths light. Thyroid hormone (TH) has been shown be essential in spatiotemporal patterning many species, including express opsins encoded tandemly replicated genes. TH differentially regulate lws opsin genes zebrafish, and exogenous treatments alter expression levels these larvae juveniles. In this study, we sought determine whether gene photoreceptors remains plastic treatment adults. We used a transgenic reporter line, multiplexed fluorescence hybridization chain reaction situ hybridization, qPCR examine extent which can altered Our studies revealed expression, other genes, adult zebrafish. addition retinal plasticity, alters skin pigmentation patterns zebrafish after 5 days. Taken together, our results show remarkable level TH-sensitive plasticity
