Human melanopsin (OPN4) gene polymorphisms: a systematic review

Frontiers in Neuroscience
The melanopsin (OPN4) gene is crucial in visual and non-visual processes. Certain single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of this gene have been linked to altered light sensitivity, photoentrainment, sleep disorders, and metabolic problems, which suggests

Melanopsin and social-affective processing

Melanopsin pathways were recently discovered, sensing ocular light to the brain with the potential for powerful light-based modulations of human mood and cognition.

Light, Sound, and Melatonin: Investigating Multisensory Pathways for Visual Restoration

Medicina
Multisensory integration is fundamental for coherent perception and interaction with the environment. While cortical mechanisms of multisensory convergence are well studied, emerging evidence implicates specialized retinal ganglion cells—particularly ...

Melanopsin sensitivity in the human visual system [PDF]

, 2016
The human retina contains long [L]-wavelength, medium [M]-wavelength, and short [S]-wavelength cones, rods, and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells expressing the blue-sensitive (λmax = ~480 nm) photopigment melanopsin.

Firing and Receptive Field Properties of Melanopsin Retinal Ganglion Cells (PowerPoint)

, 2010
Retinal ganglion cells that express the photopigment melanopsin (MGCs) are sparsely present in the retina. In rodents, they comprise 1-3% of the total number of retinal ganglion cells.

Regulation of the Non-image Forming Photopigment Melanopsin by Phosphorylation

, 2011
Melanopsin is an atypical vertebrate visual pigment expressed in a subset of retinal ganglion cells in the mammalian retina. Melanopsin-based phototransduction is involved in non-image forming light responses including circadian photo-entrainment, pupil
