Rat retinal dopamine concentration and synthetic rate exhibit a circadian rhythm that persists in the absence of time cues. Although the population of retinal amacrine cells containing dopamine is small, retinal dopamine neurones may lie on the pathway mediating light information to the circadian system.
大鼠视网膜多巴胺浓度和合成速率呈现昼夜节律,在没有时间线索的情况下该节律依然存在。虽然含多巴胺的视网膜无长突细胞数量较少,但视网膜多巴胺神经元可能位于将光信息传递至昼夜节律系统的通路上。
