Phototransduction and retinal degeneration in Drosophila
Drosophila visual transduction is the fastest known G-protein-coupled signaling cascade and has therefore served as a genetically tractable animal...

Role of a novel photopigment, melanopsin, in behavioral adaptation to light
Adaptation to changes in the ambient light is of critical importance to life. In mammals, three principal photoadaptation mechanisms depend on ocular...

Induction of photosensitivity by heterologous expression of melanopsin
Melanopsin
1 ,2 ,3 ,4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,8 has been proposed to be the photopigment of the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs)7 ,8 ,9 ,10 ,11 ,12 ,13... -
Non-image Forming Function of the Extraocular Photoreceptors in the Ganglion of the Sea Slug Onchidium
Several identified photoresponsive neurons (or extraocular photoreceptors) exist in the ganglion (CNS) of the sea slug Onchidium. The named... -
Drosophila TRP channels
The transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily comprises a large group of related cation channels that display surprising diversity in the...

Addition of human melanopsin renders mammalian cells photoresponsive
A small number of mammalian retinal ganglion cells act as photoreceptors for regulating certain non-image forming photoresponses

Molecular and Functional Diversity of Visual Pigments: Clues from the Photosensitive Opsin–Like Proteins of the Animal Model Hydra
The primary event of vision is the absorption of photons by photosensitive pigments, which triggers the transduction process producing the visual... -
Preservation of the entire population of normally transient ipsilaterally projecting retinal ganglion cells by neonatal lesions in the rat
The number of ipsilaterally projecting retinal ganglion cells (IPRGCs) in develo** normal rats and rats which received unilateral thalamic lesion...
