class="title"> Abstract </h2> <div class="abstract-content selected" id="eng-abstract"> <p> Rapid and stable control of pupil size in response to light is critical for vision, but the neural coding mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we investigated the neural basis of pupil control by monitoring pupil size across time while manipulating each photoreceptor input or neurotransmitter output of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), a critical relay in the control of pupil size. We show that transient and sustained pupil responses are mediated by distinct photoreceptors and neurotransmitters. Transient responses utilize input from rod photoreceptors and output by the classical neurotransmitter glutamate, but adapt within minutes. In contrast, sustained responses are dominated by non-conventional signaling mechanisms: melanopsin phototransduction in ipRGCs and output by the neuropeptide PACAP, which provide stable pupil maintenance across the day. These results highlight a temporal switch in the coding mechanisms of a neural circuit to support proper behavioral dynamics. </p> </div> <p> <strong class="sub-title"> Keywords: </strong> ipRGC; melanopsin; mouse; neuropeptides; neuroscience; neurotransmitters; retinal circuitry; vision. </p> </div> <p class="disclaimer" id="disclaimer"> <a href="/disclaimer/" target="_blank" ga_category="literature_resources" ga_action="disclaimer_link" ga_label="under_abstract">PubMed Disclaimer</a> </p> <div class="conflict-of-interest" id="conflict-of-interest"> <h2 class="title"> Conflict of interest statement </h2> <div class="statement"> <p xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:p1="http://pubmed.gov/pub-one">The authors declare that no competing interests exist.</p> </div> </div> <div class="figures" id="figures"> <h2 class="title"> Figures </h2> <div class="figures-list" id="slides-container" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageGallery"> <figure class="figure-item " itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemprop="associatedMedia" data-slide-index="0" data-label-slug="figure-1"> <a class="figure-link" href="https://cdn.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/blobs/1e8c/5079752/f3f3938a6aec/elife-15392-fig1.jpg" itemprop="contentUrl" aria-describedby="figure-caption-0" role="button" data-image-width="736" data-image-height="664" data-image-alt="Figure 1." data-pmc-id="PMC5079752" data-figure-id="fig1"> <img class="figure-thumb" itemprop="thumbnail" id="article-image-0" src="https://cdn.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/blobs/1e8c/5079752/6fde4fc8244a/elife-15392-fig1.gif" alt="Figure 1." /> </a> <meta itemprop="width" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" content="736"> <meta itemprop="height" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" content="664"> <div class="figure-caption figure-caption-text" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemprop="caption" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="caption-wrap"> <strong class="figure-label"> <p> Figure 1..

Negative-feedback model of PLR decay. </strong> <div class="figure-caption-contents">(<b>A</b>) Diagram displaying how the negative feedback model works (7 s light in example) (See Online Methods for step-by-step explanation). The model assumes that packets of light information are discrete and are relayed to the PLR circuit to result in pupil constriction at later timepoints. We determined the kinetics of light information relay using a 1-s light pulse-chase. Then, we simply modulate the relative light intensity reaching the retina based on assuming continuous 1-s packets of information. At each new 1-s interval, the model samples the assumed pupil sizes currently driven by each previous packet of light information, uses the maximum value as the current pupil size, and then reduces the stimulus intensity using that pupil size. We then use this new intensity to determine constriction caused at that time. This iterates every second. (<b>B</b>) Putative kinetics of feedback’s impact on PLR at several light intensities (0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100, 1000, and 10,000 lux). (<b>C</b>) Magnitude of PLR decay caused by feedback as modeled with (<b>D</b>) EC<sub>50</sub>. Note that our model predicts minor PLR decay as a result of PLR feedback. (<b>E</b>) Experimental investigation of feedback’s role in PLR decay. Atropine was applied to the left eye to inhibit pupil constriction and thus feedback. No enhancement of sustained PLR of the right eye was observed (paired two-tailed t-test). <b>DOI:</b> <ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" xlink:href="10.7554/eLife.15392.005">http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.15392.005</ext-link></div> </figcaption> </figure> <figure class="figure-item " itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemprop="associatedMedia" data-slide-index="3" data-label-slug="figure-2"> <a class="figure-link" href="https://cdn.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/blobs/1e8c/5079752/8140adcbc207/elife-15392-fig2.jpg" itemprop="contentUrl" aria-describedby="figure-caption-3" role="button" data-image-width="750" data-image-height="926" data-image-alt="Figure 2." data-pmc-id="PMC5079752" data-figure-id="fig2"> <img class="figure-thumb" itemprop="thumbnail" id="article-image-3" src="https://cdn.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/blobs/1e8c/5079752/6756a832f6c8/elife-15392-fig2.gif" alt="Figure 2." /> </a> <meta itemprop="width" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" content="750"> <meta itemprop="height" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" content="926"> <div class="figure-caption figure-caption-text" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" itemprop="caption" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="caption-wrap"> <strong class="figure-label"> <p> Figure 2..
