Alertness and performance: The paper investigates the effects of short-wavelength violet light on alertness responses in zebrafish, finding that it stimulates acute alertness responses, including increased heart rate and locomotor activity.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses how the sleep-regulatory hormone melatonin can modulate the alertness responses stimulated by short-wavelength violet light in zebrafish.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper references studies that have provided evidence for the influence of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) on cognitive functions in humans.
Heart disease: The paper investigates the effects of short-wavelength violet light on heart rate in zebrafish, finding that it stimulates an increase in heart rate.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the effects of different wavelengths of light on alertness responses in zebrafish, providing insights that could be relevant to lighting design considerations.
