Horizontal cells are the laterally interconnecting neurons having cell bodies in the inner nuclear layer of the retina of vertebrate eyes. They help integrate and regulate the input from multiple photoreceptor cells. Without them you wouldn't be able to see color, which means the mouse won't process color.
Due to a genetic modification, a mouse has no horizontal cells in its retinas and it does not expresses the connexin26.
What is horizontal cells?
The horizontal cells has receptive field with the neurobiotin and controlled by the electrical coupling.
Horizontal cells are the laterally interconnecting neurons having cell our bodies withinside the internal nuclear layer of the retina of vertebrate eyes. They assist combine and alter the enter from a couple of photoreceptor cells.

Explanation: Less solar radiation would mean less sunlight for photosynthesis which means that they won't get enough energy for survival and might die out.
