WASHINGTON: It is quite well-known that our body responds to light and dark in order to help set the circadian rhythms but the latest research on the subject says that bodies may also respond to color in order to keep the internal clock in line.
A new study that is conducted by researchers from the University of California demonstrates that mice use the colour of light to set their body clock. The researchers investigated if color signals coming out of the eyes get centered in the suprachiasmatic nucleus?
The team examined several nerve signals in the suprachiasmatic as they exposed mice to various colors and intensities of light. They did that using an artificial sky that could create day or night by turning on or off. It was noted that when blue and orange colors are used, mice behaved normally.
Dr. Timothy Brown of the Faculty of Life Science says that the study is a move forward in the right direction when it comes to understanding how human’s body clock operates.
