Differential effects of retinal degeneration on sleep and wakefulness responses to short light–dark cycles in albino mice
Highlights • Genetic rd mutation and bright light reduced photoreceptors in the outer retina. • Photoreceptor loss in the outer retina did not alter REM sleep increases in the dark. • Photoreceptor loss in the outer retina did not alter NREM sleep increases in the light. • The rd mutation enhanced t...

Summary: | Highlights • Genetic rd mutation and bright light reduced photoreceptors in the outer retina. • Photoreceptor loss in the outer retina did not alter REM sleep increases in the dark. • Photoreceptor loss in the outer retina did not alter NREM sleep increases in the light. • The rd mutation enhanced the suppressing effect of the dark on wakefulness. • Light-induced retinal degeneration enhanced the alerting effect of light. |
