This study shows that female mice exhibit long-term threat avoidance modulated by the estrous cycle, with opposing effects of ipRGC disruption on male and female behavior.

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

The paper identifies a novel long-term threat avoidance behavior influenced by visual experience and mediated by melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells.

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

This study examines how visual contrast affects defensive behaviors in rodents, showing a sigmoid-like response and involvement of different retinal cell types.

This study identifies M1 ipRGCs as the primary driver of photoaversion in neonatal mice by showing their unique photosensitivity and behavioral relevance.

The paper validates per-bundle dMRI metrics in a fiber crossing region using histological data from axonally degenerated optic nerves in rats.
