Tbr2-expressing retinal ganglion cells are ipRGCs

Chai‐An Mao, Ching-Kang Chen, Takae Kiyama, Nicole Weber, Christopher M. Whitaker, Ping Pan, Tudor C. Badea, Stephen C. Massey

This study identifies Tbr2-expressing retinal ganglion cells as intrinsically photosensitive RGCs and shows Tbr2 regulates Opn4 transcription for ipRGC development and maintenance.
