Suppression of Melatonin Secretion in Totally Visually Blind People by Ocular Exposure to White Light

3 Apr 2018

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Although most totally visually blind individuals exhibit nonentrained circadian rhythms due to an inability of light to entrain the circadian pacemaker, a small proportion retain photic circadian entrainment, melatonin suppression, and other nonimage-forming responses to light. It is thought that these responses to light persist because of the survival of melanospin-containing intrinsically...
