Summary
This paper discusses the discovery and characterization of a novel photoreceptor in the mammalian retina, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), and their role in synchronizing circadian rhythms and other physiological responses to environmental illumination.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of ipRGCs in synchronizing circadian rhythms, which are biological cycles that affect cognitive performance among other physiological variables.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the role of ipRGCs in synchronizing circadian rhythms, which are biological cycles that affect sleep among other physiological variables.
Jet lag: The paper discusses how ipRGCs help to synchronize circadian rhythms with the solar day, which is relevant to the understanding and potential treatment of jet lag.
Eye health: The paper discusses the discovery and characterization of a novel photoreceptor in the mammalian retina, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs).
Phototherapy: The paper discusses the role of ipRGCs in physiological responses to environmental illumination, which is relevant to the field of phototherapy.
