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.

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

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

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.
