Circadian light influences brain functions in mammals. Photic non-image-forming stimuli are transduced into electrochemical signals by photosensitive retinal ganglion cells containing melanopsin, a selective blue light-responsive photopigment. The hypothalamus receives light-related information via the retinohypothalamic tract (RHT). Here, we demonstrate that, in the mouse, a lateral branch of the RHT (l-RHT) proj…
