Summary
The paper discusses the role of melanopsin retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs) in visual and cognitive brain responses in Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) patients, suggesting that mRGCs contribute to non-visual and visual functions in humans and could have implications for visual rehabilitation in optic neuropathy patients.
