Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells
Life on earth is subject to alternating cycles of day and night imposed by the rotation of the
earth. Consequently, living things have evolved photodetective systems to synchronize their …

Spectral responses of the human circadian system depend on the irradiance and duration of exposure to light
In humans, modulation of circadian rhythms by light is thought to be mediated primarily by
melanopsin-containing retinal ganglion cells, not rods or cones. Melanopsin cells are …

[HTML][HTML] The influence of intrinsically-photosensitive retinal ganglion cells on the spectral sensitivity and response dynamics of the human pupillary light reflex
Historically, it was assumed that the light-evoked neural signals driving the human pupillary
light reflex (PLR) originated exclusively from rod and cone photoreceptors. However, a novel …

Melanopsin regulates both sleep-promoting and arousal-promoting responses to light
Light plays a critical role in the regulation of numerous aspects of physiology and behaviour,
including the entrainment of circadian rhythms and the regulation of sleep. These responses …
