The olivary pretectal nucleus receives visual input of high spatial resolution
Summary:
The paper discusses the identification of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) that project to the olivary pretectal nucleus (OPN), a major visual structure, and suggests that the OPN plays a role in visually-mediated behaviors beyond the pupillary light reflex.
Categories
- Eye health: The paper discusses the role of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in transmitting visual information to the olivary pretectal nucleus (OPN), a major visual structure.
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper suggests that the OPN, which receives input from RGCs, plays a role in visually-mediated behaviors, which could potentially impact cognitive function.
