Summary
This study explores how sleep quality and circadian regulation — mediated by intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) and the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) — relate to performance on neuropsychological tests including pattern separation and CANTAB measures. Findings may inform lighting design strategies that support circadian entrainment to improve cognitive outcomes in workplace and healthcare settings.
