Melanopsin retinal ganglion cell-driven contribution to visual and cognitive brain responses in LHON
Summary:
The paper discusses the role of melanopsin retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs) in visual and cognitive brain responses in Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) patients, suggesting that mRGCs contribute to non-visual and visual functions in humans and could have implications for visual rehabilitation in optic neuropathy patients.
