Description

The authors specifically note HCN1’s importance ‘at least in the scotopic pathways,’ implying uncertainty about photopic involvement. This gap limits understanding of HCN1’s full role in retinal processing across different light conditions and could impact therapeutic approaches for various retinal degenerative conditions.
