Summary
This thesis investigates how continuous light exposure during early developmental stages disrupts the formation and long-term function of the circadian system, with implications for neonatal lighting environments. Understanding these effects is critical for designing appropriate light-dark cycles in NICUs and early-life care settings to support healthy circadian development.
