Timing to perfection: the biology of central and peripheral circadian clocks. (2012, background): “Areas in the brain responsible for metabolic integration (the PVN, sPVZ, DMH, and ARC) and reward integration (HB) receive direct light signals from ipRGCs (Figure 5, black arrows), as revealed by retrograde labeling (Qu et al., 1996) and transgenic ganglion cell tracing (Hattar et al., 2006).”
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.”
The habenula: from stress evasion to value-based decision-making (2010, background): “Melanopsin-mediated retinal ganglion cells send input to the LHb (and to the suprachiasmatic nucleus”
Investigating daytime effects of correlated colour temperature on experiences, performance, and arousal (2017, neutral): “…- are light sensitive ganglion cells projecting to various brain areas involved in the regulation of sleep and wakefulness, alertness, cognition, and mood (Gooley, Lu, Fischer, & Saper, 2003; Hattar et al., 2006, 2002; Lucas, 2013; Schmidt, Chen, & Hattar, 2011; Vandewalle, Maquet, & Dijk, 2009).”
