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): “pRGCs in rodents), combine with rod and cone mechanisms to encode irradiance over the entire primate visual system range (92).”
Do We Know What the Early Visual System Does? (2005, background): “1A) (Kuffler, 1953; Enroth-Cugell and Robson, 1966), whereas others have specialized properties, including direction selectivity and intrinsic photosensitivity (Berson, 2003; Taylor and Vaney, 2003; Dacey et al., 2005).”
Investigating daytime effects of correlated colour temperature on experiences, performance, and arousal (2017, neutral): “However, the rods and cones in the outer layer of the retina also send signals to the ipRGCs, and input from these classical photoreceptors may contribute to the non-image forming effects (e.g., Dacey et al., 2005; ction Group, Eindhoven Unien, The Netherlands. olders).”
The genetics of normal and defective color vision (2010, background): “The melanopsin-expressing ganglion cells have the largest dendritic tree diameters of any primate retinal ganglion cell (Dacey et al., 2005).”
Ectopic expression of a microbial-type rhodopsin restores visual responses in mice with photoreceptor degeneration. (2006, neutral): “For comparison, the thresholds for normal rod and cone photoreceptors are about 106 and 1010 photons cm-2 s-1, respectively (Dacey et al., 2005).”
Melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion-cell photoreceptors: cellular diversity and role in pattern vision (2010, background): “There has been evidence for projections from melanopsin expressing ganglion cells to the superior colliculus and dLGN (Dacey et al., 2005; Hattar et al., 2006; Morin et al., 2003), although these were very sparse in rodents (Hattar et al.”
Central projections of melanopsin‐expressing retinal ganglion cells in the mouse (2006, background): “…mRGCs themselves are a likely conduit, because these cells are known to be excited by rod- or cone-driven synaptic networks (Dunn and Berson, 2002; Belenky et al., 2003; Dacey et al., 2005) and because they retain their normal axonal outputs in the face of melanopsin deletion (Lucas et al., 2003).”
