Abstract

Since the discovery of the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) – just two decades ago – substantial work has been carried out trying to understand their functioning. In this seminar, I’ll focus on pupillometry studies that have provided key clues about ipRGC behavior. Specifically, the interaction between the intrinsic response, rods, and cones will be discussed.
