A new method to quantify the human visual threshold from melanopsin sensitive ganglion cells
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 Traditional photoreceptors utilize the chromophore retinal to absorb light coupled with a unique opsin protein to specify receptor spectral sensitivity.

Localization of melatonin receptor 1 in mouse retina and its role in the circadian regulation of the electroretinogram and dopamine levels. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Melatonin modulates many important functions within the eye by interacting with a family of G-protein-coupled receptors that are negatively coupled with adenylate cyclase.

Circuit mechanisms underlying embryonic retinal waves
eLife, 2023 Spontaneous activity is a hallmark of developing neural systems. In the retina, spontaneous activity comes in the form of retinal waves, comprised of three stages persisting from embryonic day 16 (E16) to eye opening at postnatal day 14 (P14).

Melanopsin Retinal Ganglion Cells Regulate Cone Photoreceptor Lamination in the Mouse Retina
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Newborn neurons follow molecular cues to reach their final destination, but whether early life experience influences lamination remains largely unexplored.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are photoreceptors located in the ganglion cell layer. They project to brain regions involved in predominately non-image-forming functions including entrainment of circadian rhythms, control of

Frontiers in Neurology, 2015 Purpose: To test whether the melanopsin-containing, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), as evaluated by examination of the pupillary light reflex (PLR), are preserved in genetically confirmed autosomal dominant optic atrophy ...

PLoS ONE, 2014 We report that the most common retinal ganglion cell type that remains after optic nerve transection is the M1 melanopsin ganglion cell. M1 ganglion cells are members of the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell population that mediates non ...

Biophysical Variation within the M1 Type of Ganglion Cell Photoreceptor
Cell Reports, 2017 Summary: Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells of the M1 type encode environmental irradiance for functions that include circadian and pupillary regulation.

Early alterations of neurovascular unit in the retina in mouse models of tauopathy
Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2021 The retina, as the only visually accessible tissue in the central nervous system, has attracted significant attention for evaluating it as a biomarker for neurodegenerative diseases.
