However, some <i>ganglion</i> cells of vertebrates express r-opsins, suggesting that their <a href="/wiki/Ancestor" title="Ancestor">ancestors</a> used this pigment in vision, and that remnants survive in the eyes.<sup id="cite_ref-Nilsson2008_54-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Nilsson2008-54"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Likewise, c-opsins have been found to be expressed in the <i>brain</i> of some invertebrates. They may have been expressed in ciliary cells of larval eyes, which were subsequently <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/resorb" class="extiw" title="wikt:resorb">resorbed</a> into the brain on metamorphosis to the adult form.<sup id="cite_ref-Nilsson2008_54-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Nilsson2008-54"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> C-opsins are also found in some derived bilaterian-invertebrate eyes, such as the pallial eyes of the bivalve molluscs; however, the lateral eyes (which were presumably the ancestral type for this group, if eyes evolved once there) always use r-opsins.<sup id="cite_ref-Nilsson2008_54-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Nilsson2008-54"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Cnidaria" title="Cnidaria">Cnidaria</a>, which are an outgroup to the taxa mentioned above, express c-opsins—but r-opsins are yet to be found in this group.<sup id="cite_ref-Nilsson2008_54-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Nilsson2008-54"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Incidentally, the melanin produced in the cnidaria is produced in the same fashion as that in vertebrates, suggesting the common descent of this pigment.<sup id="cite_ref-Nilsson2008_54-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Nilsson2008-54"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Additional_images">Additional images</h2></div> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px;
