Summary

This paper investigates the role of melanopsin in the thermoregulation of mammals, specifically in relation to brown adipose tissue and the secretion of natriuretic peptides.

Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin, a retinal photopigment found in a subset of intrinsically photosensitive ganglion cells, in the synchronization of the central circadian pacemaker in response to the day-light cycle.
Hormone regulation: The paper explores the role of melanopsin in the regulation of natriuretic peptides, hormones produced and secreted by the heart.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin, a light-sensitive protein, in the regulation of thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue.
