Abstract

Melanopsin, a photopigment in intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), is involved in regulating visual signaling, retinal dopaminergic cell activity, and circadian activity. Here, we examined the contribution of melanopsin to normal refractive development and to visual form-deprivation (FD) in a mutant mouse lacking melanopsin (Opn4-/-).
