This project investigates the collaborative role of melanopsin and cone photoreceptors in vision. By studying nocturnal and diurnal mice, it aims to enhance understanding of how these photoreceptors contribute to image formation and visual processing.
Three types of retinal photoreceptors are responsible for light detection: rods, cones and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) containing melanopsin.
Until recently, it was universally assumed that daytime vision originates with cones, dim light vision with rods, leaving ipRGCs to drive sub-conscious reflex responses to changes in ambient light (e.g. circadian photoentraiment).
However, very recent data from mice has revolutionized vision science by showing that melanops…
