Mammalian Inner Retinal Photoreception
It is now a decade since the first published reports that a small proportion of mammalian retinal ganglion cells are directly photoresponsive. These cells have been termed intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) and comprise a small proportion of the total population of retinal ganglion cells. The demonstration that these ganglion cells respond to light even when isolated f...
متن کاملPineal photosensitivity. A comparison with retinal photoreception.
Pineal photoreceptors of poikilothermic vertebrates possess numerous anatomical, physiological and biochemical similarities to retinal photoreceptors, including the rhythmic melatonin biosynthesis, with nocturnal peaks and low day-time levels. This brief outline will survey the photoreceptor properties of the pineal organ of poikilothermic vertebrates, which suggest that the pineal is not only ...
متن کاملEvolution of vertebrate retinal photoreception
Recent findings shed light on the steps underlying the evolution of vertebrate photoreceptors and retina. Vertebrate ciliary photoreceptors are not as wholly distinct from invertebrate rhabdomeric photoreceptors as is sometimes thought. Recent information on the phylogenies of ciliary and rhabdomeric opsins has helped in constructing the likely routes followed during evolution. Clues to the fac...
متن کاملInner retinal photoreception independent of the visual retinoid cycle.
Mice lacking the visual cycle enzymes RPE65 or lecithin-retinol acyl transferase (Lrat) have pupillary light responses (PLR) that are less sensitive than those of mice with outer retinal degeneration (rd/rd or rdta). Inner retinal photoresponses are mediated by melanopsin-expressing, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), suggesting that the melanopsin-dependent photocycl...
متن کاملThe extra-retinal motion aftereffect.
Repetitive eye movements are known to produce motion aftereffect (MAE) when made to track a moving stimulus. Explanations typically centre on the retinal motion created in the peripheral visual field by the eye movement. This retinal motion is thought to induce perceived motion in the central test, either through the interaction between peripheral MAE and central target or by adaptation of mech...
