Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) mediate not only image-forming vision like other ganglion cells, but also non-image-forming physiological responses to light such as pupil constriction and circadian photoentrainment.

International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2017 Sleep accounts for a third of one's lifetime, partial or complete deprivation of sleep could elicit sever disorders of body function. Previous studies have reported the higher prevalence of sleep disorders in glaucoma patients, but the definite mechanism for this phenomenon is unknown.

A Molecular Toolbox for the Manipulation of Non-Image-Forming Visual Behaviors
, 2021 The external light environment exerts profound control over a broad range of innate mammalian behaviors outside of image formation, including circadian rhythms, body temperature regulation, sleep, affect, memory, and learning. In mammals, the retina acts

PLoS ONE, 2020 Melanopsin is a visual pigment expressed in a small subset of ganglion cells in the mammalian retina known as intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) and is implicated in regulating non-image forming functions such as circadian ...

Does the spectral sensitivity of melanopsin in ipRGCs suggest a role in chromatic adaptation?
Journal of Vision, 2018 Poster presented at VSS 2018, Floridadoi.org/10.1167/18.10.877https://jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2699866Abstract: Here we examine whether the spectral sensitivity of melanopsin, the light sensitive protein in the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), could play a role in chromatic adaptation by providing a ...

, 2018 The eye serves two fundamental physiologic functions: image-forming and non-image-forming function. The non-image-forming function is a collection of non-visual, vital physiologic activities including pineal melatonin suppression, sleep, body temperature,

Measuring infant rod/cone and ipRGC pupillary light responses.
, 2016 This Open Science Framework project acts to unify researchers assessing the infant pupillary light respons (PLR) in order to link rod/cone and ipRGC driven pupillary light responses with different neurotransmitters and both typical development and ...

Flp-recombinase mouse line for genetic manipulation of ipRGCs
Abstract Light has myriad impacts on behavior, health, and physiology. These signals originate in the retina and are relayed to the brain by more than 40 types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Despite a growing appreciation for the diversity of RGCs, how these diverse channels of light information are ultimately ...

Device for silent substitution excitation of melanopsin for human eye
, 2020 Research in neurobiology has identified a new ocular photoreceptor (melanopsin or ipRGC) which mediates a variety of light-based, non-visual effects on human physiology.
