Global rise of potential health hazards caused by blue light-induced circadian disruption in modern aging societies
Abstract Mammals receive light information through the eyes, which perform two major functions: image forming vision to see objects and non-image forming adaptation of physiology and behavior to light. Cone and rod photoreceptors form images and send the information via retinal ganglion cells to the...
