Summary
This paper discusses the role of intrinsically photosensitive melanopsin retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in the pupillary light reflex and circadian rhythm, and suggests a clinical framework for using the pupil light reflex to evaluate inner and outer retina function in the detection of retinal eye disease.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of ipRGCs in the eye and their contribution to the pupillary light reflex and circadian rhythm, and suggests a method for detecting retinal eye disease.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of ipRGCs in the circadian rhythm, which is linked to cognitive function and memory.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the role of ipRGCs in the circadian rhythm, which is linked to sleep regulation.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the role of light in activating ipRGCs, which could have implications for lighting design.
