The primary visual pathway in humans is regulated according to long-term light exposure through the action of a nonclassical photopigment.
BACKGROUND: The mammalian eye shows marked adaptations to time of day. Some of these modifications are not acute responses to short-term light exposure but rely upon assessments of the photic environment made over several hours. In the past, all attempts at a mechanistic understanding have assumed t...
