Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell mediated pupil function is impaired in Parkinson's disease
Summary:
The paper investigates the role of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in Parkinson's disease, suggesting that the dysfunction of these cells may be linked to non-motor symptoms of the disease such as sleep and circadian disruption.
