Dalton, post gene therapy cure performing color vision task
We used a computerized test for human color blindness that was similar to the well-known testing books in which colored numbers or symbols are concealed in a pattern of dots. Prior to treatment, the monkeys were trained to touch the location of a colored patch hidden among the gray dots. Correct choices were rewarded with a small amount of white grape juice and a positive dinging sound. Following incorrect choices, no juice was delivered and a negative buzzer tone sounded.
Similar to color-blind humans, the monkeys could not distinguish red or green, but following treatment they passed the test easily for all colors. This is a movie of Dalton performing the test for a reddish color that he was not able to see prior to treatment.
