Photoreception in ipRGCs and Their Developmental Roles in Neural Circuit Formation and Refinement
Summary:
This paper investigates the development and function of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), focusing on their role in mediating non-image light responses and their integration into retinal circuitry.
Categories
- Eye health: The paper investigates the development and function of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), which play a crucial role in eye health.
