Summary
The paper discusses the role of the nuclear receptor REV-ERBα in retinal sensitivity to ambient light levels, finding that mice lacking this gene showed increased light sensitivity and higher numbers of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, suggesting that REV-ERBα plays a major role in retinal information processing.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of the nuclear receptor REV-ERBα in retinal sensitivity, which is related to visual processing and thus cognitive function and memory.
Eye health: The paper investigates the role of the nuclear receptor REV-ERBα in retinal sensitivity and visual processing, directly relating to eye health.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper's findings on the role of REV-ERBα in retinal sensitivity to light could have implications for lighting design considerations.
