Photoperiodic regulation of dopamine signaling regulates seasonal changes in retinal photosensitivity in mice
Abstract At high latitudes, approximately 10% of people suffer from depression during the winter season, a phenomenon known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Shortened photoperiod and/or light intensity during winter season are risk factors for SAD, and bright light therapy is an effective treat...
