The autonomic nervous system influences numerous ocular functions. It does this by way of
parasympathetic innervation from postganglionic fibers that originate from neurons in the …

The mammalian visual system encodes information over a remarkable breadth of
spatiotemporal scales and light intensities. This performance originates with its complement …

Human circadian, neuroendocrine, and neurobehavioral responses to light are mediated
primarily by melanopsin-containing intrinsically-photosensitive retinal ganglion cells …

Light around twilight provides the primary entrainment signal for circadian rhythms. Here we
review the mechanisms and responses of the mouse and human circadian systems to light …

Light profoundly affects our mental and physical health. In particular, light, when not
delivered at the appropriate time, may have detrimental effects. In mammals, light is …

For decades, rods and cones were thought to be the only photoreceptors in the mammalian
retina. However, a population of atypical photoreceptive retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) …

Using the photopigment melanopsin, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells
(ipRGCs) respond directly to light to drive circadian clock resetting and pupillary constriction …

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 …

Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) express the photopigment
melanopsin and regulate a wide array of light-dependent physiological processes …

The perception of migraine headache, which is mediated by nociceptive signals transmitted
from the cranial dura mater to the brain, is uniquely exacerbated by exposure to light. We …
