Abstract excerpt
Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell (ipRGC) types can be distinguished by their dendritic tree stratification and intensity of melanopsin staining. We identified heavily stained melanopsin-positive M1 cells branching in the outermost part of the inner plexiform layer (IPL) and weakly melanopsin-positive M2 cells branching in the innermost layer of the IPL. A third type can be distinguished by the...
