چکیده

Patients with glaucoma showed to have higher daytime sleepiness measured by Epworth sleepiness scale. In addition, this symptom was associated with pupillary reflex and polysomnography parameters. These ipRGC functions might be impaired in patients with glaucoma, leading to worse quality of life.

The importance of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells and implications for lighting design

We reviewed the role of melanopsin-containing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in light-dependent functions, including circadian rhythm that is important for health and visual perception. We then discussed the implications for lighting design.

Relationship between Human Pupillary Light Reflex and Circadian System Status

Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), whose photopigment melanopsin has a peak of sensitivity in the short wavelength range of the spectrum, constitute a common light input pathway to the olivary pretectal nucleus (OPN), the pupillary light reflex (PLR) regulatory centre, and to the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), the major pacemaker of the circadian system. Thus, evaluati...

Intrinsically Photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cell Function, Sleep Efficiency and Depression in Advanced Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Purpose Melanopsin expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGC) input to multiple brain regions including those for pupil control, circadian rhythms, sleep and mood regulation. Here we measured ipRGC function and its relationship to sleep quality and depression in patients with advanced AMD. Methods The melanopsin-mediated post-illumination pupil response (PIPR) was ...

Intrinsically photosensitive (melanopsin) retinal ganglion cell function in glaucoma.

PURPOSE To determine whether glaucoma alters intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell (ipRGC) function. METHODS Forty-one patients (25 with glaucoma and 16 healthy age-matched control participants) were tested. Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell function was directly measured by the sustained, postillumination pupil response (PIPR). Forty-one eyes of 41 participants ...

Intrinsically photosensitive ganglion cells contribute to plasticity in retinal wave circuits.

Correlated spontaneous activity in the developing nervous system is robust to perturbations in the circuits that generate it, suggesting that mechanisms exist to ensure its maintenance. We examine this phenomenon in the developing retina, where blockade of cholinergic circuits that mediate retinal waves during the first postnatal week leads to the generation of "recovered" waves through a disti...
