An intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell (ipRGC) as it would appear if you looked at a mouse's retina through the pupil. The white arrows point to the many different types of cells with ...

After taking a neuroscience or biology course, most students have heard about rods and cones. But what about the recently discovered third class of photoreceptor cells in the retina - intrinsically ...

Pupillometry, the precise measurement of pupil size and dynamics, has emerged as a valuable tool in evaluating both autonomic nervous system integrity and central neural function. In particular, ...

Improved understanding of a neural pathway connecting light-sensitive cells in the retina with the cortical brain regions involved in mood and cognition has implications for the development of ...

Working with mammalian retinal cells, neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine have shown that, unlike most light-sensing cells (photoreceptors) in the retina, one special type uses two different ...

The hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is the master clock responsible for controlling circadian rhythms in mammals. These rhythmic cycles generated by the SCN are entrained to the ...
