Cellular luminescence is the emission of photons by living cells due to various biophysical and biochemical processes, mostly associated with cellular metabolism. In this review paper we summarize today's understanding of four luminescence-dependent phenomena in the eye, i.e., phosphenes, retinal discrete dark noise, negative afterimages and the development of retinogeniculate projections in the brain. We review the phenomena above in the context of knowledge gained from experimental and theoretical works. Finally, we discuss this knowledge in terms of its physiological significance.

荧光粉，视网膜离散暗噪声，负残像和视网膜生成投影：基于内源性眼球发光的新解释框架

细胞发光是活细胞由于各种生物物理和生化过程（主要与细胞代谢相关）而发出的光子。在这篇综述文章中，我们总结了当今对眼睛中四种与发光有关的现象的理解，即磷化氢，视网膜离散暗噪声，负余像和大脑中视网膜生成投影的发展。我们在从实验和理论著作中获得的知识的背景下回顾了上述现象。最后，我们从生理意义上讨论了这一知识。
