Preliminary evidence for a change in spectral sensitivity of the circadian system at night
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>It is well established that the absolute sensitivity of the suprachiasmatic nucleus to photic stimulation received through the retino-hypothalamic tract changes throughout the 24-hour day. It is also believed that a combination of cl...
