Jacobs et al. (Reports, 23 March 2007, p. 1723) reported that plasticity in the mammalian visual system permitted the emergence of "a new dimension of sensory experience" in mice genetically engineered to express a human long-wavelength-sensitive cone photopigment. However, neither neural plasticity nor a new dimension of sensory experience is required to explain their results.
雅各布斯等人（《报告》，2007年3月23日，第1723页）报告称，哺乳动物视觉系统的可塑性使得在经过基因工程改造以表达人类长波敏感视锥色素的小鼠中出现了“一种新的感官体验维度”。然而，解释他们的结果既不需要神经可塑性，也不需要新的感官体验维度。
