Description |
Two central monosynaptic tracts originating from melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells (MGCs) are the retinotectal tract (pupil light reflex) and the retinohypothalamic tract (entrainment of circadian rhythm).This study aims to assess the function of these two non-visual, light-dependent systems in patients who have optic atrophy and visual loss. |
