Circadian Pacemaker; Photic Stimulation; Retino-Hypothalmic Input; Bilateral Blindness |
| Description |
In mammals, photic stimulation of the retina with input to the suprachiasmatic nucleus is the only known stimulus that can set the circadian clock. Likewise, retinography ophthalmic input is the only known stimulus to account for the precipitous decline in serum melatonin levels following exposure to light. We sought to detennine the integrity of circadian system in blind patients, in whom preswnably the retino-hypothalabnic input is lost. |
