The photic information necessary for circadian photoentrainment is sent to the circadian clock from melanopsin-containing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). The current study tested whether the responsivity of ipRGCs measured using the post-illumination pupil response (PIPR) was associated with circadian phase, sleep timing, and circadian alignment, and if these relationships varied by season or depression severity.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Adult participants (N\u2005=\u2005323, agem\u2005=\u200540.5, agesd\u2005=\u200513.5) with varying depression severity were recruited during the summer (n\u2005=\u2005154) and winter (n\u2005=\u2005169) months. Light sensitivity was measured using the PIPR. Circadian phase was assessed using Dim Light Melatonin Onset (DLMO) on Friday evenings. Midsleep was measured using actigraphy. Circadian alignment was calculated as the DLMO-midsleep phase angle. Multilevel regression models covaried for age, gender, and time since wake of PIPR assessment.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Greater light sensitivity was associated with later circadian phase in summer but not in winter (\u03b2\u2005=\u20050.23; p\u2005=\u20050.03). Greater light sensitivity was associated with shorter DLMO-midsleep phase angles (\u03b2\u2005=\u20050.20; p\u2005=\u20050.03) in minimal depression but not in moderate depression (SIGHSAD\u2005&amp;lt;\u20056.6; Johnson-Neyman region of significance).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Light sensitivity measured by the PIPR was associated with circadian phase during the summer but not in winter, suggesting ipRGC functioning in humans may affect circadian entrainment when external zeitgebers are robust.

year-round, similar to decreased photoentrainment in winter.<\/jats:p>\n
