Patterns and types of light-sensitive retinal nerve cells called neuropsin (Opn5) ganglion cells

Updated

Abstract

is restricted to , showing greater densities in the dorsotemporal quadrant of the retina.

  • Opn5-RGCs are nonhomogeneously distributed, indicating a specific spatial arrangement within the retina.
  • The central targets of Opn5-RGCs show a bias towards regions involved in image formation and stabilization.
  • Molecular and electrical profiling suggest that Opn5-RGCs belong to specific types that are responsive to visual stimuli like edges and motion.
  • These findings contribute to understanding the roles of atypical opsins in retinal function.
