Probing the molecular basis of melanopsin induced light sensitivity

<p>It has been demonstrated that retinal photoreception among mammals extends beyond rods and cones to include a small number of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (pRGCs), which are capable of responding to light due to expression of the melanopsin (<em>OPN4</em>)...
