MELANOPSIN AND PACAP IN INTRINSICALLY PHOTOSENSITIVE RETINAL GANGLION CELLS REGULATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF RETINOFUGAL PROJECTIONS IN MICE
… a small subset of retinal ganglion cells are intrinsically photo-sensitive (ipRGCs) and express the photopigment melanopsin and the neuropeptide pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP). These cells project to brain nuclei to mediate a variety of visual behaviors involved in …

Circadian Disruption by Light at Night: Implications for Mood
… mechanism remains unspecified. In mammals, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) project light information to (1) the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus, regulating circadian rhythms, and (2) to limbic regions, putatively regulating mood. Thus, LAN has …

The Multifaceted Implications of Light for Psychological Well-Being and Mood
… to predict mood outcomes based on the amount of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGC) stimulation from polychromatic light in healthy individuals. The second and third studies focused on the indirect pathways, exploring predictors and underlying mechanisms of mood …

Influence of Light Exposure on the Melanopsin Driven Pupil Response and Circadian Rhythm
… the sleep hormone melatonin is mediated by the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). ipRGCs signal environmental light, with pathways to the midbrain to control pupil size and circadian rhythm. Evidence suggests that light exposure plays a role in refractive error …
