I think conventional, established neuroscience can probably do that.<br>
<br>
Of course, the 'with glutamate' part is a bit of a red herring, as
we know that any other neurotransmitter would do just as well, being
simply a way for one neuron to give its neighbour neurons a nudge. <br>
<br>
(Actually, thinking about it, it's probably not a neurological thing
at all. The most likely explanation is going to be that the cornea
or lens of one eye is acting as a colour filter).<br>
