- Discovery of ganglion photoreceptors in the eye
- Dr Russell Foster
- Lecture in London, UCL
- ganglion cells specialized to encode ambient light intensity
- ganglion communicate directly with the brain
- synchronize circadian rhythms with the solar day
- Circadian Rhythms
- Circadian rhythms are biological cycles that have period of about a day.
- In mammals, a pacemaker in the hypothalamus called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) drives these rhythms
- Light shown to co-ordinate sleep patterns when detected, not by rods/cones but by ganglion. and entrains the SCN and internal body clock.
- In mammals, a pacemaker in the hypothalamus called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) drives these rhythms
- Circadian rhythms are biological cycles that have period of about a day.
- Circadian Rhythms
- synchronize circadian rhythms with the solar day
- Dr. Van Gelder said. “If you’re blind from an optic nerve disease, you’re nine times more likely to have significant daytime sleepiness than if you are blind from other causes.”

- Opinions
- I think this discovery shows our incomplete knowledge of science and ourselves and reminds us that when using science as a truth to prove or disprove womething we need to take care. Eg Determinism.

- it is interesting to see how our make up can affect our psych9ological moods and behaviour and this shows us there is still undiscovered science.
