- •
All ON alpha RGCs, a conventional RGC type, are intrinsically photosensitive
- •
ON alpha RGCs signal irradiance and light history via melanopsin phototransduction
- •
Melanopsin phototransduction is required for contrast sensitivity
- •
Non-M1 ipRGCs influence contrast sensitivity necessary for image formation
