Subject pupil; Melanopsin; Intrinsically Photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cells; Circadian Rhythm
Description Non-visual, light-dependent functions of the eye are signalled by intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells that express melanopsin photopigment. We wished to identify the pupil response parameter that best distinguished effects of sleepiness (elapsed time of wakefulness) from circadian rhythms (biological clock).
