Expression of the candidate circadian photopigment melanopsin (Opn4) in the mouse retinal pigment epithelium.
A number of responses to light, including circadian entrainment and pupillary constriction, are preserved in mammals that lack rod and cone photoreceptors. Recent studies have demonstrated that a subset of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are intrinsically photosensitive, and that these RGCs project to...
