Abstract：Light is one of the important regulators of the circadian clock.Light provides visual information to clock systems in brain and guides physiological rhythms and behavior.And light also exerts non-visual effects on brain functions such as sleep/wake regulation and cognition.In this review,we provide an overview of the physiological basis of light as they emerged from circadian rhythm research,and summarize recent data that reveal the effects of light on brain function,in order to provide insights for lighting design,photobiological safety study and clinical therapy of related diseases.
