Melanopsin cells are the principal conduits for rod-cone input to non-image-forming vision.

Melanopsin cells are the principal conduits for rod-cone input to non-image-forming vision.

Rod and cone photoreceptors detect light and relay this information through a multisynaptic pathway to the brain by means of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). These retinal outputs support not only pattern vision but also non-image-forming (NIF) functions, which include circadian photoentrainment and p...
