Circadian photoreception: spotlight on the brain
Abstract
In addition to its visual function, the mammalian eye detects light for a range of behavioral and physiological responses that are separate and apart from sight. Recent studies have begun to shed light on the areas of the brain that respond to such 'non-visual' photoreception in the human eye.
