Investigating daytime effects of correlated colour temperature on experiences, performance, and arousal (2017, neutral): “The photopigment melanopsin is most sensitive to wavelengths around 460e480 nm, i.e., to light in the blue part of the spectrum (Berson et al., 2002; Brainard et al., 2001; Panda et al., 2005; Thapan et al., 2001).”
Melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion-cell photoreceptors: cellular diversity and role in pattern vision (2010, background): “A small percentage of mammalian retinal ganglion cells contain the photopigment melanopsin and are capable of autonomous phototransduction (Berson et al., 2002; Hattar et al., 2002; Provencio et al., 2000; Provencio et al., 2002).”
The effects of light pollution on biological rhythms of birds: an integrated, mechanistic perspective (2015, neutral): “In mammals, it seems that circadian responses peak between 440 and 490 nm (Berson et al. 2002), but such information is still missing from avian species.”
International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology. LXXV. Nomenclature, Classification, and Pharmacology of G Protein-Coupled Melatonin Receptors (2010, background): “In both cases, the clock rhythm is entrained to a 24-h period by environmental light (the photoperiod) that is sensed by a subset of retinal ganglion cells containing the photopigment melanopsin, which conveys photic stimuli to the SCN via the retinohypothalamic tract (Berson et al., 2002).”
Information processing in the primate retina: circuitry and coding. (2007, background): “They are intrinsically light sensitive, expressing the photopigment melanopsin, a recently discovered property of a small fraction of RGCs (Berson et al. 2002).”
Non-image forming effects of illuminance and correlated color temperature of office light on alertness, mood, and performance across cognitive domains (2019, background): “In addition, the peak sensitivity of the photopigment mela-nopsin in ipRGCs to light is in the blue part of the spectrum (around 460 – 480 nm) [1,4,49,50].”
Association between light at night, melatonin secretion, sleep deprivation, and the internal clock: Health impacts and mechanisms of circadian disruption (2017, background): “wavelengths of 460–480 nm) [18,19] and is fundamental for the functioning of the circadian system and for SCN entrainment.”
