Summary
This paper discusses the photopigment melanopsin and its role in photosensitivity in retinal output neurons, specifically focusing on the M4 cell type and its structure, function, and central projections.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the structure and function of M4 cells in the retina, which are involved in photosensitivity and vision.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the central projections of M4 cells, which could potentially impact cognitive function and memory.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper's findings on the photosensitivity of M4 cells could potentially inform lighting design considerations.
