Left in the dark: wavelength-dependent post-illumination effects on human physiology and behavior
Summary:
This paper discusses the reliability of a method for quantifying the functionality of an individual's intrinsic melanopsin-dependent phototransduction circuitry, which is relevant to the non-image forming effects of light on alertness, mood, and circadian rhythms.
Categories
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses a method for quantifying the functionality of an individual's intrinsic melanopsin-dependent phototransduction circuitry, which is relevant to the non-image forming effects of light on alertness, mood, and circadian rhythms.
- Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the effects of light on sleep and arousal, and investigates whether individual differences in sleep timing are associated with interindividual variation in the functionality of the melanopsin-driven phototransduction circuitry.
- Alertness and performance: The paper discusses the effects of light on alertness and performance, and investigates whether individual differences in alertness and performance are associated with interindividual variation in the functionality of the melanopsin-driven phototransduction circuitry.
- Phototherapy: The paper discusses a method for quantifying the functionality of an individual's intrinsic melanopsin-dependent phototransduction circuitry, which could be used in phototherapy.
