M1-Type, but Not M4-Type, Melanopsin Ganglion Cells Are Physiologically Tuned to the Central Circadian Clock
Proper circadian photoentrainment is crucial for the survival of many organisms. In mammals, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) can use the photopigment melanopsin to sense light independently from rod and cone photoreceptors and send this information to many brain nuclei s...
