Circadian regulation of reproduction and neoblast cell division in the catenulid flatworm Stenostomum virginianum (Platyhelminthes)

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The circadian clock and melatonin coordinate homeostasis in many animals, yet their influence on reproduction and neoblast proliferation has only been shown in triclads. This study demonstrates that the early‐branching catenulid Stenostomum virginianum contains photoreceptive refractile bodies, synthesizes endogenous melatonin, and that exogenous ...

Photic Stimulation Study of Changing the Arterial Partial Pressure Level of Carbon Dioxide

open access: yes, 1995
To investigate the effect of the level of baseline cerebral blood flow (CBF) on local CBF augmentation by activation, we have used positron emission tomography to measure regional CBF (rCBF) in 12 normal volunteers with and without photic stimulation ...

Photic stimulation inhibits growth hormone secretion in rats: A hypothalamic mechanism for transient entrainment

open access: yes, 2004
It is well established that photic cues are used by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) to entrain circadian rhythms to the light/dark cycle, but the role of photic stimuli in the regulation of ultradian neuroendocrine rhythms is ill defined.

Compromised Refugia: Latitudinal Gradients Mimic Depth and Constrain Subtropical Reef Habitats in the Nilotic Basin

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Deep reefs (25–30 m) were expected to be climate havens for fish fleeing warming shallow waters near Egypt's Nile Delta—but the opposite was observed. As you head south, the reef habitat shifts from primary producers (algae) to filter‐feeding bryozoans, and fish abundance and diversity drop sharply.

The eyes of man as a photic bisensor system [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Non-patterned photic stimulation of the eyes of human subjects was obtained by homogeneous illumination of the closed eyes. The subjects perceived a difference between the stimulation intensity of the left and of the right eye as a field of view ...

Molecular and Cellular Underpinnings of Primary Hypertension: An Integrative Mechanistic Framework

open access: yesJournal of Cellular Physiology, Volume 241, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypertension is a highly prevalent clinical condition and a major contributor to global cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Despite extensive research, its complex and multifaceted pathogenesis is yet to be fully elucidated. This paper explores the updated understanding of primary hypertension as a systemic disorder rather than an isolated

Preliminary trial of photic stimulation for premenstrual syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1997
In an open study 17 women with confirmed, severe and long-standing premenstrual syndrome used photic stimulation with a flickering red light, every day for up to four menstrual cycles. At the end of treatment prospectively recorded median luteal symptom scores were reduced by 76% (95% confidence interval 54-93, P < 0.001), with clinically and ...

Rev‐erb‐α in Skeletal Muscle Adaptation: Integrating Circadian Control Mechanisms and Exercise Dynamic Responses

open access: yesJournal of Cellular Physiology, Volume 241, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythms orchestrate a host of biological processes in a time‐dependent manner to maintain homeostasis in response to exercise. Within this framework, Rev‐erb‐α, an intracellular nuclear receptor and transcriptional regulator, transcends its role in circadian rhythms to drive myogenesis, muscle remodeling, primary metabolism, and ...

Quantifying changes in EEG complexity induced by photic stimulation

open access: yes, 2009
Objectives: This study aims to characterize EEG complexity, measured as the prediction error resulting from nonlinear prediction, in healthy humans during photic stimulation.
