Scientific Reports, 2017 In the vertebrate retina, dopamine is synthesized and released by a specialized type of amacrine cell, the dopaminergic amacrine cell (DAC). DAC activity is stimulated by rods, cones, and melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ...

Reported light in the sleep environment: enhancement of the sleep diary. [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundLight is the primary synchronizing cue for the circadian timing system, capable of exerting robust physiological effects, even with very dim and/or brief photic exposure. Mammals, including humans, are particularly susceptible to light at night.

Visual Responses in Mice Lacking Critical Components of All Known Retinal Phototransduction Cascades [PDF]
, 2010 The mammalian visual system relies upon light detection by outer-retinal rod/cone photoreceptors and melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells. Gnat1(-/-); Cnga3(-/-); Opn4(-/-) mice lack critical elements of each of these photoreceptive mechanisms ...

[Phototransduction mediated by melanopsin in intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells].
Gaceta medica de Mexico, 2016 Melanopsin is the most recent photopigment described. As all the other opsins, it attaches in the retina as chromophore. Its amino acid sequence resembles more invertebrate opsins than those of vertebrates. The signal transduction pathway of opsins in vertebrates is based on the coupling to the G protein transducin, triggering a signaling cascade that ...
