Retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) play a key role in the transmission of non-visual information from the eye to the brain. They are the only neurons in the retina that ensure the biological or circadian functions and effects of light for the body.
There are many types of ganglion cells, each with specific properties and functions. Some ganglion cells are highly sensitive to light and activate even in low light, while others are more active in bright light.
Retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) play a key role in regulating circadian rhythm, the bodyâs internal timing system that controls the sleep-wake cycle, night time recovery and daytime activity.
