Abstract

Summary

This paper discusses the role of melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in retinal disease, and how they can be used to measure inner and outer retinal function.

Eye health: The paper discusses the role of ipRGCs in the eye and how they can be used to measure retinal function.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper mentions that ipRGCs can influence higher cognitive function and brain processing for emotions.
Depression: The paper discusses how aberrant light cycles can cause depression-like behaviours in animals with intact ipRGCs.
Aging: The paper discusses the effect of retinal disease on ipRGC function, and introduces new paradigms for measuring inner and outer retinal function in age-related macular degeneration.
Phototherapy: The paper discusses how light information mediated via ipRGCs can directly influence higher cognitive function and brain processing for emotions.
