Ever-present in our environments, light entrains circadian rhythms over long timescales,
influencing daily activity patterns, health and performance. Increasing evidence indicates …

Vision begins in the retina, which extracts salient features from the environment and
encodes them in the spike trains of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the output neurons of the …

The formation of social memory between individuals of the opposite sex is crucial for
expanding mating options or establishing monogamous pair bonding. A specialized …

While light can affect emotional and cognitive processes of the medial prefrontal cortex
(mPFC), no light-encoding was hitherto identified in this region. Here, extracellular …

Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) play a crucial role in several
physiological light responses. In this study, we generate an improved Opn4 cre knockin …

The topographic complexity of the mouse retina has long been underestimated. However,
functional gradients exist, which reflect the non-uniform statistics of the visual environment …

Constant light as a prevalent environmental condition exerts significant and intricate effects
on the circadian system of mammals, particularly concerning behavioral rhythms. In previous …

Light has myriad impacts on behavior, health, and physiology. These signals originate in the
retina and are relayed to the brain by more than 40 types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) …

Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), contain the photopigment
melanopsin, and influence both image and non-image forming behaviors. Despite being …

Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) play a crucial role in several
physiological light responses. In this study we generate a new Opn4 cre knock-in allele …
