Distinct ipRGC subpopulations mediate light's acute and circadian effects on body temperature and sleep.

abstract：:Neurons coding for head-direction are crucial for spatial navigation. Here we explored the cellular basis of head-direction coding in the rat dorsal presubiculum (PreS). We found that layer2 is composed of two principal cell populations (calbindin-positive and calbindin-negative neurons) which targeted the contralater...
