Description
Mitzi Ernestina Juárez-Gutiérrez and four co-authors study how constant light rewires the brain of a Mexican fish, in a 2026 paper. Artificial light is changing aquatic days and nights. How fish brains cope with endless light was poorly known.
The team reanalyzed brain gene data from young Chirostoma estor raised under nonstop light against a normal day night cycle. Constant light boosted growth pathway sensitivity while trimming growth hormone itself. Thyroid signals shifted in a growth friendly direction. Protective antioxidant genes rose, while stress axis genes ran higher under normal cycles. Gene control marks also shifted in coordinated ways. The brain, it seems, settles into an alternate steady state.
