span lang="en" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US">   In mammals, photoreceptors located in the inner retina convey photic information to the brain , regulating diverse non-image forming tasks such as pupillary light reflexes and photic synchronization (entrainment) of daily activity rhythms. In non-mammalian vertebrates
