• Information processing in the primate retina: circuitry and coding. (2007, background): “Similar cells have been observed in rodent retinas; these cells typically project to the suprachiasmatic nucleus and pretectal olivary nucleus and are thought to modulate circadian rhythms and pupil size (Hattar et al. 2002, 2003).”
• Human lighting demands : healthy lighting in an office environment (2005, background): “Both groups proposed a ’novel’ non-rod, non-cone photoreceptive system in humans with a non-visual photoreceptor that was later identified as melanopsin (Hattar et al., 2003).”
• Mammalian circadian biology: elucidating genome-wide levels of temporal organization. (2004, background): “Together, the rodcone system and melanopsin-containing ganglion cells account for all accessory visual functions, including those related to photic entrainment of the circadian system (78, 145).”
• Neural Circuitry of Wakefulness and Sleep (2017, positive): “Unlike the rod/cone system, the ipRGCs and melanopsin are required for photoentrainment (Berson et al., 2010; Gooley et al., 2001; Hattar et al., 2003).”
• Central projections of melanopsin‐expressing retinal ganglion cells in the mouse (2006, background): “Electrophysiological and behavioral evidence strongly suggests that conventional rod and cone photoreceptors can drive SCN unit responses and circadian phase shifts (Aggelopoulos and Meissl, 2000; Panda et al, 2002, 2003; Ruby et al., 2002; Lucas et al., 2003; Hattar et al, 2003).”
• Physiology of circadian entrainment. (2010, background): “Only after these mice were crossed with mice lacking functional rods and cones were extreme phenotypes observed (202, 379).”
