Long days enhance recognition memory and increase insulin-like growth factor 2 in the hippocampus

Abstract Light improves cognitive function in humans; however, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying positive effects of light remain unclear. One obstacle is that most rodent models have employed lighting conditions that cause cognitive deficits rather than improvements. Here we have developed...
