The paper identifies an expanded hypothalamic visual network in a diurnal mammal, showing distinct visual response classes beyond the SCN.

This study shows that circadian phase modulates visual information transmission in the mouse thalamus, enhancing coding efficiency under high-contrast conditions at night.

This study examines how native and optogenetic visual responses interact in mice with residual vision, finding distinct electroretinography signatures and asynchronous cortical responses.

This study compares visual code restoration in retinal degenerate mice by targeting opsins to bipolar cells versus retinal ganglion cells, finding that bipolar cell targeting produces a richer visual code.

The paper compares retinal cell composition and visual coding between diurnal and nocturnal mice to show how evolutionary changes in cell types reconfigure visual information processing.

The paper shows that surviving retinal circuits can generate a functional visual code similar to wildtype even after advanced photoreceptor degeneration using optogenetic stimulation.

This paper demonstrates that Lamplight, a bistable opsin, can be used for switchable and scalable optogenetic inhibition of neurons in mice.

This study develops automated methods to measure vision in mice using innate defensive responses, showing they can assess visual acuity and detect retinal dysfunction.
