Summary
This paper discusses the role of melanopsin in the regulation of nonvisual photic responses, such as behavioral responses to light, pineal melatonin synthesis, pupillary light reflex, and sleep latency.
Categories
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin in regulating sleep latency.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin in pineal melatonin synthesis, a hormone that regulates sleep and wakefulness.
Phototherapy: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin in mediating nonvisual photic responses, which is relevant to phototherapy.
