Summary
This paper investigates the role of melanopsin C-terminus phosphorylation on non-image forming behaviors, finding that it influences the kinetics of some non-image forming behaviors and physiology, but does not completely explain deactivation of melanopsin.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin in non-image forming visual behaviors, which are related to cognitive function and memory.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin in sleep, as it plays a major role in non-image forming visual behaviors like sleep.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin C-terminus phosphorylation, which is a process related to hormone regulation.
Phototherapy: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin in non-image forming visual behaviors, which are influenced by light, making it relevant to phototherapy.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper's findings on the role of melanopsin in non-image forming visual behaviors could have implications for lighting design considerations.
