Insight into the role of photoreception and light intervention for sleep and neuropsychiatric behaviour in the elderly
Light exerts influences on many physiological and behavioural functions in humans. These functions can be described as image-forming (IF) and non-image forming (NIF) visual processes, both originating in the retina of the eye. Image-forming refers to vision; the process of detecting and distinguishi...
