Research Abstract |
Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell, a subset of retinal ganglion cell, was found to mediate circadian photoentrainment ten years ago. The detailed local circuit is still largely unknown. In this study, I found the synapses between intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell and cone bipolar cells. The synaptic inputs from cones enable the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell to respond to wide range of light spectrum.
