Summary
This thesis investigates the influence of ketamine on light-induced changes in the circadian system governed by the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus. Understanding how anesthetic/dissociative agents like ketamine interact with circadian photoentrainment has implications for clinical settings where lighting and sedation interact, such as ICUs and surgical recovery.
