Mice lacking rod and cone photoreceptors (rd/rd cl) are still able to regulate a range of responses to light, including circadian photoentrainment, the pupillary light reflex, and suppression of pineal melatonin by light. These data are consistent with the presence of a novel inner-retinal photoreceptor mediating non-image-forming irradiance detection.
