Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells: classification, function and clinical implications

, 2013
Purpose of review The discovery of a new class of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) revealed their superior role for various nonvisual biological functions, including the pupil light reflex, and circadian photoentrainment ...

C-terminal phosphorylation regulates the kinetics of a subset of melanopsin-mediated behaviors in mice

, 2017
Significance Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) respond to light via both rod/cone-driven synaptic input and intrinsic melanopsin-based phototransduction; however, these two pathways are not functionally redundant ...

Increase in choroidal thickness after blue light stimulation of the blind spot in young adults

Bioelectronic Medicine
Background Blue light activates melanopsin, a photopigment that is expressed in intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). The axons of ipRGCs converge on the optic disc, which corresponds to the physiological blind spot in the visual ...

A Retina-Hypothalamic-Bed Nucleus Disinhibitory Circuit Governs Constant Light-Induced Depressive-Like Behaviors

Prolonged exposure to aberrant light environments disrupts circadian rhythms and increases the risk of mood disorders, yet the circuitry linking chronic light perturbation to affective dysregulation remains elusive.
