Individual Differences in the Post-Illumination Pupil Response to Blue Light: Assessment without Mydriatics
Melanopsin-containing retinal ganglion cells play an important role in the non-image forming effects of light, through their direct projections on brain circuits involved in circadian rhythms, mood and alertness. Individual differences in the functionality of the melanopsin-signaling circuitry can be reliably quantified using the maximum post-illumination pupil response (PIPR) after blue light....
متن کاملShort-Wavelength Light Enhances Cortisol Awakening Response in Sleep-Restricted Adolescents
Levels of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal gland, follow a daily, 24-hour rhythm with concentrations reaching a minimum in the evening and a peak near rising time. In addition, cortisol levels exhibit a sharp peak in concentration within the first hour after waking; this is known as the cortisol awakening response (CAR). The present study is a secondary analysis of a larger study inv...
متن کاملAcute exposure to blue wavelength light during memory consolidation improves verbal memory performance
Acute exposure to light within the blue wavelengths has been shown to enhance alertness and vigilance, and lead to improved speed on reaction time tasks, possibly due to activation of the noradrenergic system. It remains unclear, however, whether the effects of blue light extend beyond simple alertness processes to also enhance other aspects of cognition, such as memory performance. The aim of ...
متن کاملImpact of blue-depleted white light on pupil dynamics, melatonin suppression and subjective alertness following real-world light exposure
Background: The non-image forming system, which conveys light information to circadian and sleep centers in the brain, is optimized to respond to short wavelengths of light (blue). Exposure to white light with reduced blue content can cause lower than expected circadian and sleep responses. These findings, however, come from controlled laboratory conditions that may not be entirely accurate whe...
متن کاملDoes pupil constriction under blue and green monochromatic light exposure change with age?
Many nonvisual functions are regulated by light through a photoreceptive system involving melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells that are maximally sensitive to blue light. Several studies have suggested that the ability of light to modulate circadian entrainment and to induce acute effects on melatonin secretion, subjective alertness, and gene expression decreases during aging, particula...
