Summary
This paper investigates the outer retinal circuits driving the pupillary light response (PLR) at different light intensities, finding that rod image-forming visual pathways play distinct roles in the PLR and that the most sensitive retinal pathway is required for normal function at scotopic light levels.
Categories
Eye health: The paper investigates the functioning of the retina and its role in the pupillary light response, contributing to our understanding of eye health.
Lighting Design Considerations: The research explores how different light intensities affect the pupillary light response, which could have implications for lighting design.
Cognitive function and memory: The study's exploration of the role of the retina in non-image forming vision contributes to our understanding of cognitive function.
