Glutamatergic neurotransmission from melanopsin retinal ganglion cells is required for neonatal photoaversion but not adult pupillary light reflex. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs) in the eye play an important role in many light-activated non-image-forming functions including neonatal photoaversion and the adult pupillary light reflex (PLR).

Abstract Guidance from the Department for Education stipulates that permanent exclusions should only be used as a last resort and where there is potential for harm to come to anyone in the school setting. Suspensions are positioned as a tool to communicate to a pupil that their behaviour is in breach of the school's behaviour policy.

Is there space for dyslexia in high‐attainment educational environments? Evidence from the Millennium Cohort Study into attainment grouping in English primary schools

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Attainment grouping is an important policy issue and is increasingly practiced in UK primary schools, with researchers presenting contrasting stances on the impact to pupils' attainment and academic self‐concept. This original research statistically analyses the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) data (N = 3510) and explores: (i) whether dyslexic ...
