Indoor lighting Drastically Inhibits Learning and Memory
The hippocampus lost about 30 percent of capacity in low light in just 4 weeks as well as a steep decline in brain derived neurotrophic factor (Animal Model)
* Grass rats were housed in either a 12: 12 h bright light–dark (brLD, 1,000 lux) or dim light-dark (dimLD, 50 lux) cycle.
