Summary
This paper investigates the role of cones in the photic regulation of retinal dopamine, finding that cones utilize specific parallel excitatory and inhibitory circuits to modulate DAC activity and efficiently regulate dopamine release and the light-adaptive state of the retina.
Categories
Eye health: The paper investigates the role of cones in the photic regulation of retinal dopamine, which is crucial for eye health.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in memory and cognition, in the retina.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the regulation of dopamine, a hormone, in the retina.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses how light affects the regulation of retinal dopamine, which could have implications for lighting design.
