Abstract

In this talk, I will focus on recent work that has uncovered the diversity of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). These are a unique type of retinal ganglion cell that contains the photopigment melanopsin. ipRGCs are the retinal neurons responsible for driving non-imaging forming behaviors and reflexes, such as circadian entrainment and pupil constriction, amongst many others. My lab has recently focused on uncovering the diversity of ipRGCs, their distribution throughout the mammalian retina, and their axon projections in the brain.
