The mechanisms underlying the positive effects of light
still remain largely unknown. However, within the last decade or so,
researchers have discovered a new type of light sensitive cell (photoreceptor)
in the eye called melanopsin. This novel photoreceptor has been shown to be an
essential component for relaying light information to a set of so-called
non-visual centers in the brain. In the absence of this photoreceptor, research
showed that non-visual functions are disrupted, the biological clock becomes
deregulated and 'free-runs" independent from the 24 day-night cycle and
the stimulatory influence of light is impaired.
