Summary
This paper discusses the distribution of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in albino rats and their role in the synchronization of the circadian rhythm.
Categories
Eye health: The paper investigates the distribution and function of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells in the eyes of albino rats.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of ipRGCs in the synchronization of the circadian rhythm, which is linked to cognitive function.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of ipRGCs in regulating the circadian rhythm, which is controlled by hormones.
