Abstract

Summary

This thesis examines how light signals transmitted via melanopsin-expressing ipRGCs influence circadian rhythms in the choroid plexus, with sex hormones playing a modulatory role. Understanding sex-hormone interactions with circadian photoreception may inform lighting strategies that account for gender-related differences in circadian entrainment.
