Inducible ablation of melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells reveals their central role in non-image forming visual responses.

Inducible ablation of melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells reveals their central role in non-image forming visual responses.

Rod/cone photoreceptors of the outer retina and the melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs) of the inner retina mediate non-image forming visual responses including entrainment of the circadian clock to the ambient light, the pupillary light reflex (PLR), and light modulation of activit...
