Degeneration of ipRGCs in Mouse Models of Huntington's Disease Disrupts Non-Image-Forming Behaviors Before Motor Impairment
Summary:
This paper investigates the degeneration of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in mouse models of Huntington's disease, and how this contributes to the disruption of non-image-forming behaviors before motor impairment.
Categories
- Dementia: The paper discusses the degeneration of ipRGCs in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.
- Alzheimer's disease: The paper mentions that ipRGCs are affected in Alzheimer's disease, which is associated with impaired circadian rhythms.
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how the degeneration of ipRGCs in Huntington's disease can lead to nonmotor symptoms such as impaired cognitive functions.
- Aging: The paper discusses how ipRGCs are affected in aging, which is associated with impaired circadian rhythms.
- Phototherapy: The paper discusses the role of light in the functioning of ipRGCs, which are photosensitive neurons in the retina.
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper's findings on the role of light in the functioning of ipRGCs could have implications for lighting design considerations in environments for individuals with neurodegenerative diseases.
