Distinct ipRGC subpopulations mediate light’s acute and circadian effects on body temperature and sleep
The light environment greatly impacts human alertness, mood, and cognition by both acute regulation of physiology and indirect alignment of circadian rhythms. These processes require the melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), but the relevant downstream b...
