Summary
This paper examines microglial cells in the central nervous system, describing their roles in brain surveillance, activation, and response to pathology — though the abstract does not directly address retinal opioid systems as the title suggests. The mismatch between title and abstract limits direct applicability to lighting design or circadian health contexts.
Categories
Eye Health & Vision: The paper focuses on the mu-opioid system in the mammalian retina, which relates to retinal biology and eye health.
