PACAP-deficient mice exhibit light parameter-dependent abnormalities on nonvisual photoreception and early activity onset.

PACAP-deficient mice exhibit light parameter-dependent abnormalities on nonvisual photoreception and early activity onset.

BACKGROUND: The photopigment melanopsin has been suggested to act as a dominant photoreceptor in nonvisual photoreception including resetting of the circadian clock (entrainment), direct tuning or masking of vital status (activity, sleep/wake cycles, etc.), and the pupillary light reflex (PLR).
