Summary
The paper discusses the role of green light in reducing pain in mice, and identifies a vision-associated enkephalinergic neural circuit responsible for this analgesic effect.
Categories
Pain management: The paper explores the use of green light exposure as a method of pain management in mice, demonstrating its analgesic effects in healthy mice and in a model of arthrosis.
Lighting Design Considerations: The study investigates the specific impact of green light on pain, suggesting that the intensity and timing of light exposure can influence its analgesic effects.
Eye health: The research examines the role of different types of photoreceptors in the eye (rods, cones, and ipRGCs) in mediating the analgesic effects of green light.
Phototherapy: The paper discusses the potential of green light exposure as a form of phototherapy for pain management.
