Salamanders have been habitual residents of research laboratories for more than a century, and their history in science is tightly interwoven with vision research. Nevertheless, many vision scientists – even those working with salamanders – may be unaware of how much our knowledge about vision, and particularly the retina, has been shaped by studying salamanders. In this review, we take a tour through the salamander history in vision science, highlighting the main contributions of salamanders to our understanding of the vertebrate retina. We further point out specificities of the salamander visual system and discuss the perspectives of this animal system for future vision research.

蝾螈的眼睛一直在告诉视觉科学家的大脑。
一个多世纪以来，蝾螈一直是研究实验室的常客，它们的科学历史与视觉研究紧密相连。然而，许多视觉科学家——甚至那些研究蝾螈的科学家——可能不知道我们对视觉，特别是视网膜的了解有多少是通过研究蝾螈而形成的。在这篇评论中，我们回顾了蝾螈在视觉科学中的历史，强调了蝾螈对我们了解脊椎动物视网膜的主要贡献。我们进一步指出蝾螈视觉系统的特殊性，并讨论该动物系统对未来视觉研究的前景。
