Melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells in retinal disease
Summary:
This paper discusses the role of melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in retinal disease, and how they can be used to measure inner and outer retinal function.
Categories
- Eye health: The paper discusses the role of ipRGCs in the eye and how they can be used to measure retinal function.
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper mentions that ipRGCs can influence higher cognitive function and brain processing for emotions.
- Depression: The paper discusses how aberrant light cycles can cause depression-like behaviours in animals with intact ipRGCs.
- Aging: The paper discusses the effect of retinal disease on ipRGC function, and introduces new paradigms for measuring inner and outer retinal function in age-related macular degeneration.
- Phototherapy: The paper discusses how light information mediated via ipRGCs can directly influence higher cognitive function and brain processing for emotions.
