Stimuli were designed to separately target the post-receptoral luminance (L+S) and chrominance (L\u2013S) pathways, the rods, and all photoreceptors jointly (light flux).

For WT animals, both luminance and chromatic (L\u2013S) stimuli evoked fMRI responses in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) or visual cortex; RCD1 animals with predominant rod loss had similar responses. Responses to cone-directed stimulation were reduced in XLPRA2 and absent in CRD2.
