Circadian Control of the Pupillary Light Responses in an Avian Model of Blindness, the GUCY1* Chickens [Retinal Cell Biology]

Conclusions.
Our observations clearly point to circadian control of PLRs even in blindness, strongly indicating that both the entry of light into the eyes and its quality are differentially regulated during the day in diurnal animals.
