Daylight is ubiquitous and is crucial for mammalian vision as well as for non-visual input to
the brain via the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) that express the …

Retinal circuits transform the pixel representation of photoreceptors into the feature
representations of ganglion cells, whose axons transmit these representations to the brain …

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 …

Light is necessary for human health and well-being. As we spend more time indoors, we are
being increasingly exposed to artificial light. The development of artificial lighting has …

The increasing global prevalence of myopia calls for elaboration of the pathogenesis of this
disease. Here, we show that selective ablation and activation of intrinsically photosensitive …

Light can impact human health via the visual and non-visual systems originating in the retina
of the eye or as optical radiation falling on eye or skin. This paper provides a summary of …

Light modulates mood through various retina-brain pathways. We showed that mice treated
with short-term acute bright light exposure displayed anxiety-related phenotypes in a …

Melanopsin is a visual pigment that is expressed in a small subset of intrinsically
photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). It is involved in regulating non-image forming …

Light is an essential part of many life forms. The natural light–dark cycle has been the
dominant stimulus for circadian rhythms throughout human evolution. Artificial light has …

Every aspect of vision, from the opsin proteins to the eyes and the ways that they serve
animal behavior, is incredibly diverse. It is only with an evolutionary perspective that this …
