Lack of strong evidence for cone photoreceptors’ contribution to human melatonin suppression and alerting response to light

Summary: Light exposure at night can suppress melatonin production and increase alertness, primarily through the action of melanopsin-containing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). This study investigated whether cone photoreceptors also influence melatonin suppression and...
