Living by the clock, in alignment with external time cues is an important condition for human
health and well-being. Periodic changes in the ambient light serve as a key factor to …

Dysfunction in circadian rhythms is a common occurrence in patients with Alzheimer's
disease. A predominant function of the retina is circadian synchronization, carrying …

Many organisms have evolved an approximately 24-hour circadian rhythm that allows them
to achieve internal physiological homeostasis with external environment. Suprachiasmatic …

Purpose: The circadian clock plays important roles in the regulation of retinal functions.
Previous studies have indicated that removal of the clock gene, Bmal1, from the retina alters …

This review presented an introduction of the visual pathway related circadian rhythm
regulation system: the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells-suprachiasmatic …

To investigate the mechanism that controls circadian rhythms in the mammalian retina, we
examined the mRNA expression rhythms of serotonin N-acetyltransferase (NAT), the …

Vision is much more than just resolving small objects. In fact, the eye sends visual
information to the brain that is not consciously perceived. One such pathway entails visual …

Daily rhythms are a ubiquitous feature of living systems. Generally, these rhythms are not
just passive consequences of cyclic fluctuations in the environment, but instead originate …

The mammalian retina is the most unique tissue among those that display robust
circadian/diurnal oscillations. The retina is not only a light sensing tissue that relays light …

The circadian rhythms originate within the organism and synchronize with cyclic fluctuations
in the external environment. It has been demonstrated that part of the human genome is …
