Abstract
Presentation Description :
Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter and neuromodulator in the retina. This presentation will review the role of dopamine in generating circadian rhythms of retinal gene expression and visual function. It will also briefly discuss the consequences of dopamine depletion or circadian clock disruption on refractive development and retinal cell survival during aging.
