• CENTRAL AND PERIPHERAL CIRCADIAN CLOCKS IN MAMMALS (2012, background): “Although ipRGCs appear to be optimal circadian photoreceptors, they do not act alone; rod and cone photoreceptors also have photic inputs to the SCN. Interestingly, these nonvisual inputs from rods and cones to the SCN are mediated by the ipRGCs (Chen et al. 2011, Guler et al. 2008).”

• Migraine pathophysiology: anatomy of the trigeminovascular pathway and associated neurological symptoms, CSD, sensitization and modulation of pain (2013, background): “The activation of these cells is achieved not only by virtue of their unique photopigment melanopsin [15,103], but also extrinsically by rods and cones [42].”
• Melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion-cell photoreceptors: cellular diversity and role in pattern vision (2010, background): “Since similar knock-in strategies have successfully expressed several 50 Neuron 67, 49–60, July 15, 2010 ª2010 Elsevier Inc. transgenes in ipRGCs (Guler et al., 2008; Hattar et al., 2002), it is not surprising that the majority of melanopsin-immunoreactive cells expressed the reporter proteins,…”
• The Radical-Pair Mechanism of Magnetoreception. (2016, background): “The melanopsin pathway (63) used, for example, to control pupil dilation in many vertebrates is one example of a pathway in which non-image-forming photoreceptor molecules have been placed in front of the outer segments (in this case in ganglion cells).”
• Molecular components of the Mammalian circadian clock. (2013, background): “The SCN receives retinal signals from rods, cones, and/or melanopsin; however, all light information which sets the SCN’s phase is transmitted through the ipRGCs (Freedman et al. 1999; Panda et al. 2002b; Guler et al. 2008).”
• Non-image forming effects of illuminance and correlated color temperature of office light on alertness, mood, and performance across cognitive domains (2019, background): “If the activation of the traditional photoreceptors also adds to NIF e ff ects [60,61], one might perhaps expect CCT manipulations to show fewer e ff ects on performance and alertness than illuminance manipulations.”
• Physiology of circadian entrainment. (2010, background): “Melanopsin and cryptochromes have been proposed as candidate photopigments for inner retinal phototransduction (138, 179, 187).”
