Summary
The paper discusses the effects of early retinal degeneration on the circadian system in mice, focusing on the development and function of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs).
Categories
Eye health: The paper explores the impact of early retinal degeneration on the development and function of ipRGCs in mice.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of ipRGCs in the regulation of the circadian system, which is crucial for cognitive functions.
Hormone regulation: The paper mentions the role of the circadian system, which is regulated by ipRGCs, in hormone production and secretion.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the role of ipRGCs in the regulation of the circadian system, which controls the sleep/wake cycle.
