Summary
This paper investigates the effects of photophase illuminance on daily rhythms of locomotor activity, urine production and 6-sulfatoxymelatonin in nocturnal Namaqua rock mice and diurnal four-striped field mice.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how light intensity during the photophase plays a key role in maintaining circadian rhythms in rodents, which is relevant to cognitive function and memory.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the regulation of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin, a hormone, in response to different light intensities.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses how different light intensities during the photophase affect the circadian rhythms of rodents, which could be relevant to lighting design considerations in environments where rodents are present.
