Regional response to light illuminance across the human hypothalamus

Cognitive function and memory: The paper explores how changes in light illuminance can affect cognitive performance, specifically in relation to tasks that require higher cognitive functions.

Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how higher illuminance can stimulate alertness and cognition, and how this is linked to activity in different regions of the hypothalamus.

Lighting Design Considerations: The paper's findings on how variations in light illuminance can impact cognitive performance and alertness could have implications for lighting design, particularly in environments where cognitive performance is important.
