Functional and morphological differences among intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells
Summary:
The paper discusses the morphological and physiological differences between M1 and M2 cells, two types of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in the mammalian retina.

- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of M1 and M2 cells in non-image-forming visual responses to environmental light, which can impact cognitive function.
- Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the role of M1 and M2 cells in modulating sleep, alertness, and activity in response to environmental light.
- Alertness and performance: The paper discusses the role of M1 and M2 cells in modulating alertness and activity in response to environmental light.
