Distinctive properties of cones in the retinal clock and the circadian system
Summary:
The paper investigates the role of murine cones in the circadian system, demonstrating that cones contain a functional self-sustained molecular clockwork and contribute to the retinal circadian organisation.
Categories
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of cones in the circadian system, which is crucial for cognitive function and memory.
- Alertness and performance: The paper's findings on the role of cones in the circadian system are relevant to alertness and performance, as the circadian system regulates sleep-wake cycles.
- Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of cones in the circadian system, which is involved in the regulation of various hormones.
- Phototherapy: The paper's findings on the role of cones in the circadian system could have implications for phototherapy, which often involves manipulating light exposure to influence the circadian system.
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper's findings on the role of cones in the circadian system could inform lighting design considerations, as light exposure influences the circadian system.
