Light and the neonatal eye.

Abstract:

:The lighting environment where the baby born prematurely is placed is different from that experienced in utero. As early exposure to light may affect the immature visual system we have attempted to quantify the neonatal ocular light dose. Lighting surveys performed in 7 neonatal units (NNUs) suggested that mean unit illuminance was 470 lux (range 192-890 lux) and intensive care areas within the NNU were significantly brighter than their corresponding low dependency nurseries. The spectral power distribution of fluorescent lights in NNUs was weighted towards the blue end of the spectrum. Datalogging studies demonstrated that between about 30% and 98% of environmental light was incident on the eyelid, which acts as a predominantly red-pass filter, permitting 21% transmission at 700 nm with less than or equal to 5% transmission at 580 nm. Eye-lid opening frequency was quantified: 45% less than or equal to 26 weeks gestational age and decreasing to 7% at 28 weeks gestational age. The onset of the pupillary reflex to light was between 30 and 34 weeks postmenstrual age, the mean diameter was 3.46 mm before this event and 3.02 mm afterwards. Retinal irradiance values calculated from these data show that it is a function of postmenstrual age. Further studies are required to determine its effect on the immature visual system.

  • Blockade of opioid receptors in anterior cingulate cortex disrupts ethanol-seeking behavior in mice.

    abstract::The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and opioid receptors have been suggested to play a role in attributing incentive motivational properties to drug-related cues. We examined whether blockade of ACC opioid receptors would reduce cue-induced ethanol-seeking behavior in mice. We show that intra-ACC opioid receptor block...
