Distribution of melanopsin positive neurons in pigmented and albino mice: Evidence for melanopsin interneurons in the mouse retina

Distribution of melanopsin positive neurons in pigmented and albino mice: Evidence for melanopsin interneurons in the mouse retina

Here we have studied the population of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in adult pigmented and albino mice. Our data show that although pigmented (C57Bl/6) and albino (Swiss) mice have a similar total number of ipRGCs, their distribution is slightly different: while in pi...
