Michael Iuvone Daily rhythms are a ubiquitous feature of living systems. Generally, these rhythms are not just passive consequences of cyclic fl uctuations in the environment, but instead originate within the organism. In mammals, including humans, the master pacemaker controlling 24-h rhythms is localized in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus. This circadian clock is responsible for the temporal organization of a wide variety of functions, ranging from sleep and food intake to physiological measures such as body temperature, heart rate, and hormone release. Moreover, accumulating evidence suggests that dysfunction of the circadian rhythms due to genetic mutations or environmental factors (i.e., jet lag or shift work) contributes to the development of many pathologies, including sleep disor- ders, mood and affective disorders such as major depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, as well as the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders. T he retina plays a critical role in the organization of the circadian system by synchronizing the brain’s central clock with the external day through transduction of the daily light/dark cycle. However, the substantial variation in luminance imposed on the retina between day and night also poses a challenge to its role as a sensory tissue—how is it possible to faithfully encode the enormous dynamic range of luminance that can exceed ten orders of magnitude? In this regard, the retina has G. Tosini, Ph.D. (*) Morehouse School of Medicine , 720 Westview Drive SW , Atlanta , GA 30310 , USA e-mail: [email protected] D.G.
