Signal Integration and Diversification by Melanopsin-Expressing Retinal Ganglion Cells
Summary:
This paper discusses the role of melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in the regulation of non-image-forming visual functions such as sleep, locomotor activity, and hormone levels, and how dysregulation of these functions can impact health.
