Summary
This paper discusses the role of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in the macaque monkey, their projections, and their potential expression of the neuropeptide orexin.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the role and function of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in the macaque monkey's eye.
Hormone regulation: The paper explores the potential expression of the neuropeptide orexin in ipRGCs, which is involved in regulating arousal, wakefulness, and appetite.
