The purpose of this study was to reveal the organization of melanopsin-immunoreactive (IR) neurons in the Mongolian gerbil retina using immunocytochemistry. Melanopsin-IR cells were primarily located in the ganglion cell layer (GCL; M1c; 75.15%). Many melanopsin-IR cells were also observed in the inner nuclear layer (INL; M1d; 22.28%). The M1c and M1d cell types extended their dendritic processes into the OFF sublayer of the inner plexiform layer (IPL). We rarely observed bistratified cells (M3; 2.56%) with dendrites in both the ON and OFF sublayers of the IPL. Surprisingly, we did not observe M2 cells which are well observed in other rodents. Melanopsin-IR cell somas were small to medium in size and had large dendritic fields. They had 2-5 primary dendrites that branched sparingly and had varicosities. Melanopsin-IR cell density was very low: they comprised 0.50% of the total ganglion cell population. Moreover, none of the melanopsin-IR cells expressed calbindin-D28K, calretinin, or parvalbumin. These results suggest that in the Mongolian gerbil, melanopsin-IR cells are expressed in a very small RGC subpopulation, and are independent of calcium-binding proteins-containing RGCs.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":2.4849066497880004,"endowment":2.4849066497880004,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"26083722","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W610898540","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"Ministry of Education","grant_id":"NRF-2013R1A1A2059568","title":null},{"funder_name":"National Research Foundation of Korea","grant_id":"","title":null}],"total_grants":2,"fwci":0.4121,"citation_percentile":0.55066922,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2016,"count":1},{"year":2017,"count":1},{"year":2018,"count":1},{"year":2019,"count":3},{"year":2021,"count":1},{"year":2022,"count":2},{"year":2024,"count":1},{"year":2025,"count":1}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"https://www.elsevier.com/tdm/userlicense/1.0/","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0168010215001595?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0168010215001595?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neures.2015.06.002","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26083722","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Circadian rhythm and melatonin","Retinal Development and Disorders","Photoreceptor and optogenetics research","Animals","Cell Count","Dendrites","Gerbillinae","Immunohistochemistry","Retina","Retinal Ganglion Cells","Rod Opsins","Melanopsin"],"mesh_terms":["Melanopsin","Animals","Cell Count","Dendrites","Gerbillinae","Immunohistochemistry","Retina","Retinal Ganglion Cells","Rod Opsins"],"keywords":["Melanopsin","Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells","Inner plexiform layer","Inner nuclear layer","Ganglion cell layer","Giant retinal ganglion cells","Retina","Gerbil","Biology","Calretinin","Parvalbumin","Population","Calbindin","Cell biology","Neuroscience","Retinal ganglion cell","Photopigment","Internal medicine","Medicine","Immunology","Immunohistochemistry","Immunocytochemistry","Cell type","Mongolian gerbil","cell density","Calcium-binding Proteins (Cbps)","Melanopsin-immunoreactive (Ir)"],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-23T18:47:06.426985Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
