Summary
This doctoral thesis examines the developmental trajectory of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in mice and how external lighting conditions influence their maturation. Findings have practical implications for understanding how early-life light exposure shapes the circadian photoreception system, relevant to neonatal lighting design.
