Impact of repeated morning bright white light exposures on attention in a simulated office environment
Attention is essential to the work. This study investigated the effects of two different light pulses on a simple attention task. In addition, the...

Behavioral and cellular responses to circadian disruption and prenatal immune activation in mice
Most individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders, experience disruptions in sleep and...

Bioactive Components for Ocular Health
Vision impairment significantly affects the quality of life. It is related to several diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD),...

How Daylight Controls the Biological Clock, Organises Sleep, and Enhances Mood and Performance
The human circadian system drives 24-h rhythms in all aspects of biochemistry, physiology and behaviour. This rhythmicity ensures that the right...

Photophobia is associated with lower sleep quality in individuals with migraine: results from the American Registry for Migraine Research (ARMR)
BackgroundPatients with migraine often have poor sleep quality between and during migraine attacks. Furthermore, extensive research has identified...

The Necessity of Natural Darkness for Humans and Biodiversity
Our daily rhythm consists of night and day—darkness and light. This cycle is fundamental to our circadian rhythm, and all life on the earth has...

Suitability of blue light filters for eye care
Light entering through the eyes is responsible for the regulation of circadian cycles. The blue range of the visible spectrum is primarily...

How lesions at different locations along the visual pathway influence pupillary reactions to chromatic stimuli
PurposeTo examine systematically how prechiasmal, chiasmal, and postchiasmal lesions along the visual pathway affect the respective pupillary...

What’s a Pupil Worth? The Promise and Challenges of Cognitive Pupillometry in the Wild
This book chapter explores the concept of opportunistic sensing, focusing on the use of cognitive pupillometry to infer mental states and optimize...

Chronotherapie affektiver Störungen: Grundlagen und klinische Aspekte
BackgroundChronobiological processes play a critical role in the initial manifestation and course of affective disorders. Chronotherapeutic agents...

Increase in b-wave amplitude after light stimulation of the blind spot is positively correlated with the axial length of myopic individuals
Altered retinal dopamine and ON-pathway activity may underlie myopia development. It has been shown that the stimulation of the blind spot with...

Assessing perceptual chromatic equiluminance using a reflexive pupillary response
Equiluminant stimuli help assess the integrity of colour perception and the relationship of colour to other visual features. As a result of...

Light exposure behaviors predict mood, memory and sleep quality
Ample research has shown that light influences our emotions, cognition, and sleep quality. However, little work has examined whether different light...

Retinal dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease—results of the extended protocol for photopic negative response (PHNR) full-field electroretinogram (ERG)
BackgroundWe investigated whether the photopic negative response (PhNR) in the electroretinogram (ERG) was affected in Parkinson’s disease (PD)...

Crucial role of TFAP2B in the nervous system for regulating NREM sleep
The AP-2 transcription factors are crucial for regulating sleep in both vertebrate and invertebrate animals. In mice, loss of function of the...

Targeting sleep and the circadian system as a novel treatment strategy for Parkinson’s disease
There is a growing appreciation of the wide range of sleep–wake disturbances that occur frequently in Parkinson’s disease. These are known to be...

Input from torus longitudinalis drives binocularity and spatial summation in zebrafish optic tectum
BackgroundA continued effort in neuroscience aims to understand the way brain circuits consisting of diverse neuronal types generate complex behavior...

A simple method for comparing peripheral and central color vision by means of two smartphones
Information on peripheral color perception is far from sufficient, since it has predominantly been obtained using small stimuli, limited ranges of...

Melanopic irradiance defines the impact of evening display light on sleep latency, melatonin and alertness
Evening light-emitting visual displays may disrupt sleep, suppress melatonin and increase alertness. Here, we control melanopic irradiance...

Cellular properties of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells during postnatal development
BackgroundMelanopsin-expressing, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) respond directly to light and have been shown to...
