TL;DR: Aotus monkeys show relatively lower sensitivity to temporal flicker under conditions of light adaptation but relatively higher sensitivity at very low light levels.

TL;DR: It was found that the spectral sensitivity of theb1 component indicates that it receives input from the cone system primarily responsible for photopic spectral sensitivity in this animal, and the recovery of sensitivity in the dark is rapid for both components, much as would be expected from cone-like mechanisms.
