Summary
This paper investigates retinal ganglion cell axon regeneration with a focus on modifying chondroitin sulfation, with peripheral relevance to ipRGC circuitry and the pupillary light reflex. The practical implications for lighting design are limited, but the underlying biology of ipRGC projections to the olivary pretectal nucleus is relevant to understanding non-visual light responses.
