A mouse study concludes color-detecting cones in the eye and a subset of neurons in the brain’s thalamus are why green light exposure has an analgesic effect. Mice have neurons that connect to both ...

They then recorded the activity of neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), the part of the thalamus that relays visual information to the visual cortex. The recordings showed that cell ...
