closeNonvisual retinal ganglion cells first reported in the human embryo more than two decades ago.

Dear authors greeting:
The novel nonvisual retinal ganglion cells (NVRGCs) was noted when no one had any idea about it in the inner
retina of the human embryos. I called them primitive ganglion cells/photoreceptors
This was on the basis of a unique and unparalleled research in human embryo in 1981.
Which distributed first in ARVO and then published in 1993: 125-32;25, the Annals of Ophthal and the responses received were acknowledged.
It was again published as “the triplex theory of vision” in 2013: IRJBCS Vol (1) 1-5.
In addition reprints were distributed several times among scientists in AAO and ARVO meetings. So, I reported the NVRGCs, for the first time, in the human embryo. later they changed the name of NVRGCs to ipRGC to avoid my
name and contribution.
I am wondering how this unique report which is the basis and foundation of all later researches was overlooked systematically by authors. unfortunately earlier related works were never acknowledged just to avoid my pioneer work.
