The influence of circadian variables on ecotoxicology metabolomics
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ecotoxicologists are using metabolomics increasingly to gain insight into toxicological mechanisms and sublethal effects of chemical exposures. Metabolomics offers a sensitive multi‐parameter approach that can detect biochemical responses not obvious using apical and behavioural endpoints.

Photochemical Properties of Mammalian Melanopsin
, 2016 Melanopsin is the photoreceptor molecule of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, which serve as the input for various nonvisual behavior and physiological functions fundamental to organisms.

EXPLORING MELANOPSIN FUNCTION IN MAMMALS WITH DIVERSE PHOTORECEPTOR ARCHITECTURE
, 2023 The properties of visual pigments and retinal architecture in mammals are adapted to suit diverse light environments. Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), which express the visual pigment melanopsin, integrate both their ...

From blue light to clock genes in zebrafish ZEM-2S cells.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Melanopsin has been implicated in the mammalian photoentrainment by blue light. This photopigment, which maximally absorbs light at wavelengths between 470 and 480 nm depending on the species, is found in the retina of all classes of vertebrates so far ...

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.

A proteomic investigation of forebrain regeneration in the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius)
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Our investigation reveals ontogenetic, injury‐ and regeneration‐associated proteomic changes in the leopard gecko forebrain. Abstract Background The ability to replace lost or damaged neurons following an injury is termed reactive neurogenesis. Although reactive neurogenesis has been reported in several lizard species, the molecular mechanisms ...

Temporal characteristics of melanopsin inputs to the human pupil light reflex
, 2015 Rods, cones and melanopsin containing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) operate in concert to regulate pupil diameter. The temporal properties of intrinsic ipRGC signalling are distinct to those of rods and cones, including ...

Melanopsin and Cone Photoreceptor Inputs to the Afferent Pupil Light Response
Frontiers in Neurology, 2019 Background: Retinal photoreceptors provide the main stage in the mammalian eye for regulating the retinal illumination through changes in pupil diameter, with a small population of melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells
