Research paper thumbnail of Rod photoreceptors drive circadian photoentrainment across a wide range of light intensities

Circadian photoentrainment can be maintained by rod and cone photoreceptors, but their functional contributions and their retinal circuits that impinge on ipRGCs are not well understood. Using mice that lack functional rods or in which rods are the only functional photoreceptors, we found that rods were solely responsible for ...
