LIGHT PATHWAY. “Light is the most potent synchronizing factor for the SCN. Light information travels directly from intrinsically photosensitive melanopsin-containing retinal ganglion cells through the retinohypothalamic tract to the SCN. The SCN receives additional indirect input from intrinsically photosensitive melanopsin-containing retinal ganglion cells via the intergeniculate nucleus and input from rods and cones.” (SCN = Suprachiasmatic nucleus).
