SEX-DEPENDENT MODULATION OF WHOLE BRAIN cFOS EXPRESSION BY LIGHT AND MELANOPSIN IN THE MOUSE

Jacob D. Bhoi, Maya R. Sheth, Lisseth Gonzalez, Andrew Kang, Anna C Wcislak, Tiffany M. Schmidt

The paper creates a whole-brain atlas of light-induced cFos expression in mice, revealing sex-dependent modulation by melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells beyond visual circuits.

Melanopsin contributes to circadian photic responses in mice in a sex-dependent manner

Kayla C. Miguel, Marcos L. Aranda, Jacob D. Bhoi, Matthew Diaz, Jennifer A. Evans, Tiffany M. Schmidt

This study shows that melanopsin expression and its role in circadian photic responses differ between male and female mice.

Genetic tuning of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell subtype identity to drive visual behavior

Marcos L. Aranda, Jacob D. Bhoi, Omar A. Payán Parra, Seul Ki Lee, Tomoko Yamada, Yue Yang, Tiffany M. Schmidt

This study identifies Brn3b as a key transcription factor regulating ipRGC subtype identity and their associated visual behaviors in mice.

Melanopsin activates divergent phototransduction pathways in ipRGC subtypes

Ely Contreras, Jacob D. Bhoi, Takuma Sonoda, Lutz Birnbaumer, Tiffany M. Schmidt

This study resolves conflicting models of melanopsin phototransduction in ipRGC subtypes, showing HCN channels are dispensable in M4 and M2, with TRPC and T-type calcium channels playing key roles.
